Wakil (English spelling)

Japanese: ワキール(英語表記)wakīl
Wakil (English spelling)
An Arabic word meaning "representative," "guarantor," "agent," "protector," etc. In the Quran, for example, there is the expression "Allah is the guarantor (waqil) of our word" (12:66), and "waqil" is one of the 99 names of Allah. As Islamic society developed, wakil came to be used in various fields, taking into account the general meaning above, while also taking on a specific meaning in each field. For example, in Shiite sect, imams often used personal representatives (waqils) to communicate with their followers.

Japanese:
〈代表者〉〈保証人〉〈代理人〉〈保護者〉などを意味するアラビア語。コーランには,たとえば,〈アッラーは我々の言葉の保証人(ワキール)である〉(12:66)という表現があり,〈ワキール〉はアッラーの99の名前の一つとなっている。 イスラム社会の発展とともに,ワキールはさまざまの分野で,上記の一般的な意味を踏まえつつ,それぞれの分野に特殊な意味をもって使われるようになった。たとえばシーア派では,イマームは個人的な代理人(ワキール)を使って信徒たちと連絡を取り合うことがしばしばあった。
