WHAT DOES ULEMA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Ulama

Ulama, also spelled ulema and "uluma", refers to the educated class of Muslim legal scholars engaged in the several fields of Islamic studies and Polymath. They are well versed in legal fiqh and are considered the arbiters of sharia law, being Islamic lawyers and are the foundation of the law. A female Islamic scholar is an alimah. The Islamic jurisprudence includes: ▪ the hadith: reports of statements or actions of Muhammad and ▪ the tafseer: explanation and interpretations of the Qur'an. Some Muslims use the term ulama to describe only the body of Muslim scholars who have completed several years of training and study of Islamic disciplines, such as a mufti, qadi, faqih, or muhaddith. For them, the status of ulama requires higher standards. Under this definition, ulama are Islamic scholars trained in the whole body of Islamic law. But other Muslims also include the clerics under this term, that may be the village mullahs and the imams, who have attained only the lowest rungs on the ladder of Islamic scholarship.
