slam, like Judaism, has no clergy in the sacerdotal sense, such as priests who mediate between God and people. However, there are many terms in Islam to refer to religiously sanctioned positions of Islam. In the broadest sense, the term ulema is used to describe the body of Muslim scholars who have completed several years of training and study of Islamic science. A jurist who interprets Islamic law is called a mufti( مفتي) and often issues judicial opinions, called fatwas. A scholar of jurisprudence is called a faqih. Someone who studies the science of hadith is called a muhaddith. A gadi is a judge in an Islamic court. Honorific titles given to scholars include shiekh, mullah and maulvi.Imam ( إمام) is a leadership position, often used in the context of conducting Islamic worship services. Education is considered very important to Muslims, so that they could distinguish between right and wrong, but when it comes to entry into heaven, the most noble in the sight of God are the most righteous and they may be honest, compassionate and helpful to others but not necessarily very educated.
