mowlawi
Mowlawi is a term derived from the Arabic word "mawlā," meaning "master," "lord," or "patron." In various Islamic cultural contexts, particularly in Persian, Urdu, and Turkish speaking regions, it is often used as an honorific title for learned religious scholars, judges, or respected elders. The title signifies a high level of religious knowledge, authority, and often, a position within the clergy or judicial system.
Historically, a mowlawi might have served as a teacher of Islamic law, a qadi (judge) in Sharia
