In order to be granted the title Ayatollah a cleric must show that they hold a great deal of wisdom through their study, teaching, preaching, and the amassing of followers. It is not an officially granted title such as pope or bishop but once the cleric has earned the respect of his followers and leaders he can achieve Ayatollah status.
