Abstract

This article describes the training program for college students to become murchidat, female religious guides. The Moroccan state has developed and codified this new category since 2004, showing a traditional transmission of Islam by female and shaking the male establishment of the structures of the Islamic religion. The training and recruitment as officials of the new religious guides provides new job opportunities anda certain emancipation through religion to young believers students, transformed into community leaders whose mission is to convey a moderare Islam that has been strategically shaped by the Ministry of Religious Affairs to control religious speech and radicalization. Also it is shown in the text the voice of the new women religious guide showing the similarities of their speech to the concepts of the current Islamic Ieminism. Finally, it is proposed as the recruitment of women by the Moroccan administration can respond to a movement of re-Islamization of Moroccan society through an Islamic state feminism.
