Literally, Imam also means symbol or indicator. Pragmatically, the word is applied in three different situations: (1) Imam is the main person who leads the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;s&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;l&amp;#039;;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;t&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (&amp;#039;&amp;#039;n&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;m&amp;#039;;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;z&amp;#039;&amp;#039; or prayer) in a &amp;#039;&amp;#039;j&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;m&amp;#039;;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;t&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (group). The Imam who conducts the five daily prayers is called &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Pe&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;x&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Im&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;m&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and the Imam who conducts the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Jum&amp;#039;;u&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (Friday) prayer is called &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Khatib&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Any Muslim who, has adequate knowledge about the rules of sal&amp;#039;;at and is otherwise fit as a pious man can be an Imam. (2) &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Sunn&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;i&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;s&amp;#039;&amp;#039; show honour to the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;khal&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;i&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;f&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;s&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (caliphs) and the noted Islamic &amp;#039;alims (scholars) by prefixing the word Imam to their names. (3) Shiahs use the word for different purposes but the main idea in their interpretations is that only the descendents of Hazrat Ali Ibn Talib (R) and none else can hold the position of the highest leader in the world of [[islam]]. Some sultans of Bengal adopted the title of Khalifa or Imam. [Syed Ashraf Ali] [Ali, Syed Ashraf  former DG, Islamic Foundation Bangladesh]&lt;br /&gt;
