Shaykh al-Islām

Japanese: シャイフ・アルイスラーム(英語表記)shaykh al‐Islām
Shaykh al-Islām
It means "Islamic elder (shaikh)" and was used as an honorific title for learned 'ulama' from the end of the 10th century. The Seljuk Empire tried to make it a government-appointed position but failed, and the Ottoman Empire made it the title of the mufti of Istanbul (in Turkish it is called Şeyhülislam). He controlled the 'ulama', had the power to appoint and dismiss qadis (judges) and muftis, and restricted the sultan's acts of state through fatwas (opinions), becoming the de facto head of the implementation of sharia (Islamic law).
