Islamic Mullah

A Mullah is a respected Islamic scholar or leader, often authorized to interpret religious texts and provide guidance to Muslims. They typically have extensive knowledge of Islamic theology, law, and traditions. Mullahs may lead prayers, deliver sermons, and offer advice on religious and social matters. The term is commonly used in countries like Iran, Afghanistan, and South Asia, and denotes someone trusted for their expertise in Islam. While they are not necessarily clergy in the Western sense, they hold significant influence within their communities, helping adherents understand and practice their faith more deeply.
