Imam
Imam (Arabic: ????) is an Arabic word meaning "Leader". The ruler of a country might be called the Imam, for example. The term, however, has important connotations in the Islamic tradition especially in Shia Beliefs .
Prayer Leader
The common everyday use of the word is for a person leading Muslim congregational prayers (salah). In this meaning the imam is not required to be a cleric.
