Imam is the one standing in the front and leads the congregational prayer. In socio-political system of [[Islam]], whoever leads a group of people must have certain virtues and traits, so that he inspires others. Likewise the Imam in congregational prayer –apart from having "'Adalat" ([[justice]]) and correct recitation- should be superior to other people in terms of knowledge and [[taqwa]] (piety), trustworthy, capable of leading people spiritually in this world and [[intercession|interceding]] for them in [[hereafter]], and be counted as adornment of the [[mosque]]. | Imam is the one standing in the front and leads the congregational prayer.
