Murabit
Murabit (bahasa Arab: مُرابِط, translit. murābiṭ) adalah seorang pemimpin dan guru agama Islam[1] di Afrika Barat, dan (dulunya) di Maghreb. Marabout sering kali adalah seorang cendekiawan al-Qur'an, atau guru agama. Yang lainnya adalah pria suci yang mengembara dan menjalani hidup sebagai Mursyid ("Pemandu") Sufi, atau pemimpin komunitas keagamaan. Yang lainnya masih memegang tradisi sinkretis pra-Islam yang masih ada, menjadi amulet untuk nasib baik, memimpin berbagai upacara, menyatakan masa depan, dan dalam beberapa kasus memandu kehidupan para pengikutnya, tetapi praktiknya tak diterima dalam Islam Sunni Ortodoks arus utama.

Marabouts are Islamic spiritualists who are also believed to have the capacity to foresee but not control the future. These spiritualists range from conventional Islamic clerics (Limam) who are versed in the Koran and preside over services at local mosques, to local healers and diviners who mix Islam with indigenous beliefs and practices. Some marabouts practices resemble those of getba, with Islamic verses replacing cowries. Most marabouts receive gifts or money for their services, with the most respected and renowned marabouts drawing substantial income from their practice. However, these practices are generally disapproved by Islamic orthodoxy.
