Taqlid is important because its not easy for all Muslims to understand the Quran and Hadith themselves. It’s hard to do Ijtihad (figure out Islamic laws on their own), so they follow a qualified scholar (Marja3) to make sure they practice Islam correctly. By doing Taqlid, a Muslim makes sure their prayers, fasting, and daily actions follow the right rules of Islam.
