Hujjat al-Islam (from Arabic: حجة الإسلام‎ ḥujjatu l-Islām) is an honorific title meaning "authority on Islam" or "proof of Islam", given to Twelver Shī‘ah clerics. It was originally applied only to leading mujtahids, but from about the start of the 19th century came to be used by all clerics following the creation of the title Ayatollah for top Twelver mujtahids.

The title Hujjatu l-Islām wa l-Muslimīn "Authority on Islam and Muslims) is given to middle-ranking clerics.

[edit] Education

Hawza students start their studies learning fiqh, kalam, hadith, tafsir, philosophy and Arabic literature. After mastering these levels they are given the Hojatoleslam title, and can start becoming mujtahid by studying advanced textbooks known as satḥ, and research courses known as kharij.
