Abstract EN

The purpose of this study is to find out the extent to which the imam of the mosque and the khateeb played the role assigned to them and the impact on worshipers in Aflaj province.

In order to achieve this goal, a questionnaire was distributed on four axes, in addition to the instructions, the response method, and the demographic data, the validity and consistency of the questionnaire was verified.

A sample of 225 male worshipers representing different ages, jobs and educational levels were randomly selected from the worshipers mosques in Aflaj province.

The study tool was applied in 1439H (2017).

The results of the study revealed that there is a deficiency in the performance of the Imam and the Khatib for the role entrusted to them, including weakness in their role in preaching and guidance, as evidenced by the study the need to establish programs and training courses directed to imams and Khatib to improve their performance.

The results indicate that many imams do not take care of the periodic meetings of the mosque group, and does not inspect their conditions, and has no role in deepening the spirit of love and solidarity between the mosque group.

As for Khatib, the study pointed out that some Khatib s do not take care of addressing social and family problems, and does not adhere to the Sunnah in shortening the Khutba and prolonging the prayer, and that many of them do not take good care of choosing the subject of the Khutba and its diversity according to the occasion.

In the field of the impact of the Khatibs on the worshipers, the study indicated the weakness of the Khatib in the worshipers, and that most of the sample of the study finds that the Khutba is not used in caution of innovation, or good dealing with Muslims, or in creating good morals such as honesty, honesty and mastery of work.

They did not benefit from the Khutba in leaving some taboos, such as: spall, absolution, deceit, lying, and they did not feel an increase in their faith after the Khutba.

Finally, the study reached several recommendations which we believe will have an active and positive role to activate the role of Imams and Khutis in Aflaj governorate, which can be distributed to the Kingdom's governorates.
