There is no hirearchy in Islam. There is nothing as a pope or something like that. Islam believes in equality and so mosques have no special designation. Anyone can lead the prayers and give advice on any matter. For more important edicts ( rulings ), Islam has people called Ulema or Mufti who are nothing more than holding a degree in religion and so their ruling caries a greater weight. Otherwise, Muslims do not have to follow anyone except Allah and Prophet Muhammad.
