== Difference in titles ''Mullah'' and ''Maulvi'' == |
|||
In the Central Asian and South Asian / Indian subcontinent context, where "Mullah" does not carry a formal sense, ''Maulana'' is often the word of choice for addressing or referring to Muslim religious scholars that are respected, while ''Mullah'' is used often derogatorily for people the speaker considers to be more rabble-rousers than scholars. In Iran the word "Mullah" has also taken on a pejorative connotation. |
|||
Although the words ''Maulvi'' and ''Maulana'' are interchanged in the Indian Subcontinent as a title of respect, ''Maulana'' is more often associated with formal qualification following study at a [[madrassa]] or [[darul uloom]] and ''[[Maulvi]]'' is usually more a general title for religious figures. In [[Bangladesh]], in the government Aliyah madrassa system, ''Maulvi'' is also associated with formal degrees for those who have passed the course of ''Maulvi'' (basic), ''Maulvi Alim'' (intermediate) or ''Maulvi Fazil'' (advanced). |
