The opening as it read in 2010
The concept of a Marja-i Taqlid (lit. source of emulation) is central to Usuli Shi'a Islam . Marja-i Taqlids provide religious interpretations on matters of law and rituals. Ideally, the most just and knowledgeable specialist in the field of the Islamic law should become recognized throughout the Muslim world as the Marja-i Taqlid . In practice however this rarely happens and there are several marja taqlid's among whom an individual is free to choose and emulate. Those clerics who reach the apex in the hirerachy of theological rank in the centers of Shi'a learning become Marja-i Taqlids . Since around 1940, Marja-i Taqlids are often referred to by their followers with the honorific title of Ayatollah al-`Uzma (Grand Ayatollah).1
