Summary/Abstract: This article points out to a difference between a profession and a calling. A professionalism, with all its advantages (qualifications, quality of work, etc.), has its limitations since it's often characterized by plodding through a job, which lacks an important humanistic motivation. A person who stays within the limits of a profession is wary of everything that's out of his occupation. A calling, on the other hand, means inner excitement, enthusiasm, self-fulfillment, etc. Undoubtedly, the spiritual profile of an Imam in the modem society also includes this other dimension, but the accent is on a calling, which not only does not exclude profession, but, to the contrary, it comprises it.
