Ayatollah
In the Twelver Shiite sect, this title is given to high-ranking religious scholars (ulama). They are consulted by believers on the interpretation of Islamic law, receive direct donations, and maintain mosques, schools, and clinics. Particularly outstanding ones become Grand Ayatollahs, and among them the highest religious authority is called Marja-e Taqlid (source of imitation).
