Mulla (English spelling)
A Persian corruption of the Arabic mawlā (meaning "master" or "ally"; singular form of mawāli). In Persian, the word is used in a variety of ways. (1) Originally, it was used as an honorific for someone with a deep knowledge of Islamic religious studies. The word mullah given to Mulla Hadi Sabzawari has this meaning. (2) A person who teaches children how to read, write, and the Quran at khuttabs (temple schools) throughout Iran is called a mullah. People called mullahs are those who have completed a certain level of religious education at madrasahs (schools) in Qom, Mashhad, and other places.
