Mawlana (/mɔːˈlɑːnə/; from Persian, Arabic: مولانا), also spelled as Molana or Maulana,[1] is a title, mostly in South Asia, preceding the name of respected Muslim religious leaders, in particular graduates of religious institutions, e.g. a madrassa or a darul uloom, or scholars who have studied under other Islamic scholars.[1] It is conferred upon somebody that has completed Dars-i Nizami, an eight year long rigorous religious education comprising Quranic, Hadith, jurisprudence and many other religious sciences.[2]
