What is the difference between a mullah, an imam, and an ayatollah?
Thank you for that information. Is there a specific order or hierarchy to these roles?
Yes, there is typically a hierarchy of authority in Islamic leadership. While the specifics can vary depending on the region and sect, generally, an ayatollah would be considered higher in authority than a mullah or imam, for example. However, the authority of any given leader is ultimately determined by the followers who recognize them as such.
