Islamic communities and mosques usually have an imam. Jewish communities and synagogues usually have a rabbi. Neither Jewish nor Islamic services require an ordained leader. In both communities, any knowledgeable layman can lead services. Rabbis are expected to know halacha, Jewish law, and imams are expected to know sharia, Islamic law. Rabbis are expected to know the Torah and the associated oral tradition, the Talmud. Imams are expected to know the Koran and its associated oral tradition, the Hadith.
