Ulema (, , singular: , , "scholar") (The people of Islamic Knowledge) refers to the educated class of
Muslim legal scholars engaged in the several fields of
Islamic studies. They are best known as the arbiters of
shari‘a law. While the ulema are well versed in legal
jurisprudence being Islamic lawyers, some of them also go on to specialize in other sciences, such as
philosophy,
dialectical theology or
Quranic hermeneutics or explanation. The fields studied, and the importance given them, will vary from tradition to tradition, or even from seminary to seminary.
