What is the difference between a mullah, an imam, and an ayatollah?
That's really helpful. Are there any other important religious figures in Islam that I should know about?
Yes, there are a few others you might find interesting. A mufti is an Islamic legal expert who is empowered to give rulings on religious matters. A sheikh is a leader or elder in a Muslim community or organization. A caliph is a political and religious leader of a Muslim state, although this position is not currently held by anyone.
