Islam has no clergy, so it has no "spiritual" head. However the Muslims are obliged to swear intelligence to a Caliph (Khaleef Arabic), but no exist in the world since 1924 when the last Caliph was deposed in Turkey by Kemal Attaturk.
The word Khaleef in Arabic means successor. So after the death of Muhammed (peace and blessings be upon him), abu bakr succeeded him. This continued until 1924. There was only ever one khaleef for all the Muslims.
In Sunni Islam, there are no established leaders of the religion. There are only scholars, who analyze the religious texts to make decisions on jurisprudence. There is no "Pope-like" figure such as that present in Catholicism.
In Shia Islam, there are people known as Ayatollahs, who have the ability to analyze the religious texts and make what are known as fatwas, which are statements which tell the Shia Muslims what is allowed or forbidden in the religion. Almost all the time, these decisions made by the Ayatollahs agree with those made by Sunni scholars.
There is no Islamic Church in the way that there is a Pope of the Catholic Church. There isn't one set leader of the Muslim community, like the Pope is to the Christian community.
In Shi'a Islam, however, there is a person called the Ayatollah, who is known as the highest religious authority. The current highest-ranked Ayatollah is Ali al-Sistani.
The original Muslim kings were called caliphs, or khalifas.
Currently Imam Mahdi (sa)
