imams
Lead Friday prayers
Imams are Muslim religious leaders, particularly those who lead prayers at a mosque.
In Sunni Islam, an imam may be any respected person who leads congregational worship.
In Shia Islam, the term carries greater weight—Imams (often capitalized) are the spiritual successors to Muhammad, holding special religious authority.
The imam delivered the Friday sermon.
