The marājiʿ (sing. marjaʿ) are the most prominent jurists of Twelver Shīʿism. Though primarily located in Iran and Iraq, they have millions of followers across the globe. It is by way of these followers (muqallids) that the marājiʿ receive the financial support and spiritual capital necessary to achieve their status. It is also up to followers to choose to abide by the laws the marājiʿ write. As a result, a marjaʿ’s legitimacy is largely dependent upon his reception by and engagement with society. Linda Walbridge, Farhard Khosrokhavar, Amir Nikpey, Thomas Fibiger, and Elvire Corboz have all investigated how the marājiʿ are received by their communities. The current issue of the Journal of the Contemporary Study of Islam explores this phenomenon further.

European Migration

The following article is based on my fieldwork in Morocco and represents anthropological data collected amongst undocumented sub-Saharan migrants in Morocco. They want to enter Europe in search for a better life for themselves and to provide financial support for their families. Due to heavy border security control and repression, they find themselves trapped at the gates of Europe, where they are trying to survive by engaging in various economic activities in the informal sector. The article begins with an overview of the European migration politics in Africa and the geopolitical and historical context of Morocco, in light of the externalization of European border control. I will then analyze the various economic sectors, in which sub-Saharan migrations are active, as well as smuggling networks, informal camps and remittances, on which they largely depend due to the exclusion from the national job market.

Human Problem

Today, the human problem in social life concerning education is growing more complex; many new ideas emerge as the level of human intellectuality grows. This paper will reveal the current issue of education in Indonesia and discuss ideas from the concept of liberal education. The basic issue of education criticized by liberal education is that education today focuses more on the needs of society than the educational objectives themselves. Education as a tool to transfer science, values, and agents of social change is seen as one alternative solution in the framework of improving people's lives. The education in which values are embodied is one of the efforts offered by genuine liberal education, aimed at giving us the habits, ideas and techniques necessary to continue our own education. Humans have the ability to learn continuously throughout life so that we can prepare ourselves to study and again as long as we are alive.
