haan bhai, dekh lein woh jali mullah jo yeh samajhtey hein ke unhein koi Illhami istasna mili hoi hai Definition: Mullah: A teacher or scholar of Islamic learning, or the leader of a mosque. The term is usually a mark of respect, but can also be used in a derogatory manner. The word mullah is used primarily in Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, and the former Soviet republics of Central Asia. In Arabic-speaking lands, an Islamic cleric is called an imam or shayk, instead. Mullah is derived from the Arabic term mawla, which means master or the one in charge. Pronunciation: MUHL-uh Also Known As: Roughly synonymous with: imam, shayk, alim (plural: ulema) Alternate Spellings: mulla, mollah Examples: Generally, a mullah is a local Islamic leader, although sometimes they rise to national prominence.
