Universalization of the Husayni Values as Broadening the Scope of Husayni Minbar in Today World: Requisites, Problems, and Prospects

Lexically, the originally Arabic word minbar received its earliest recorded written use in English in 1816. [1, 2, and 3] Muslim communities usually keep a minbar for their preachers, whether in mosques or in other places where Islamic rituals are supposed to be led by a person qualified for such purposes. Functioning as a place for delivering speeches, the phenomenon of a certain place for such a function must be a religious universal, for it is hard to find any well-established religion, whether essentially Divine or otherwise, to have remained or survived without preaching. Needless to say, the spread of Islam owes a great deal to preaching for which minbar is its marker.
