Mullah (/ˈmʌlə, ˈmʊlə, ˈmuːlə/; Persian: ملا, romanized: mullā, mollā) is an honorific title for Shia clergy and it is also an honorific title for a Muslim mosque leader.[1] The term is also sometimes used for a person who has higher education in Islamic theology and sharia law.
The title has also been used in some Mizrahi and Sephardic Jewish communities in reference to the community's leadership, especially its religious leadership.[2]
