Within Sunni Islam, hierarchy is generally less formalized compared to other religious traditions. Authority is derived from scholarship and consensus rather than a centralized leadership, with religious scholars (ulama) playing a crucial role in interpreting Islamic teachings. Leadership can vary by community, with local imams leading prayer and providing guidance, while larger bodies like the Council of Scholars or other institutions may influence broader religious understanding. However, there is no single authoritative figure comparable to a pope in Catholicism, allowing for a diversity of opinions and practices among Sunni Muslims.
