Shia Islam has a hierarchy that resembles a priesthood. Mullahs are prayer leaders, but usually do not interpret religious law. Mujtahids are religious scholars who may interpret law or passages from the Koran or Hadith. The lower order of Mujtahids are called Hojjatolislam. Ayat Allah (literally sign of Allah, also Ayatollah) is a higher order of Mujtahid who may issue Fatwas, or religious edicts, in addition to leading Islamic schools, interpreting religious law and the Koran, and offering sermons or discourses on proper Islamic behavior.

=== Conversion to Islam ===
In order to convert to Islam you have to accept the 5 pillars of Islam <ref>https://www.metmuseum.org/learn/educators/curriculum-resources/art-of-the-islamic-world/unit-one/the-five-pillars-of-islam</ref>. And Believe that Quran is word of god and muhammad is his messenger. And you have to say the Shahada . which goes likelā ʾilāha ʾillallāh, Muḥammad rasūlu-llāh translation. There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger.
For the Christian believer, the Shahada is essentially an [[oath]] renouncing the divinity of Christ, "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven." (Matt 10:33).
