What does ULEMA mean in Scrabble?
noun
The body of Muslim scholars recognized as authorities on Islamic law and religious doctrine.
The ulema traditionally trained for years in religious schools before earning recognition as interpreters of Islamic law, and their rulings could carry real weight in matters of justice, education, and daily religious practice. In some countries the ulema still advise governments or issue formal opinions on questions of law and conduct, while in others their influence today is mainly religious and educational. The same body of scholars is sometimes called by the variant spelling ulama, reflecting different ways of transliterating the Arabic term into English.
