This province has also contributed many notable Salafi ulema and sheikhs. The Sunni Ulema or clergy were either killed or exiled. Prince Nayef received education at Princes' School and from senior ulema (Muslim legal scholars). The preferred ulema are of the Salafi persuasion. The Shi'a clergy ("Ulema") had a significant influence on Iranian society. Ubaidul Haq, the chief cleric of Bangladesh led a protest of ulema denouncing terrorism. The introduction of Ibadism vested power in the Imam, the leader nominated by the ulema. The next year the Janissaries and members of the ulema revolted. The Ulema, Saudi's religious authorities, opposed the idea of issuing separate identity cards for women. Many believers, along with the ulema and many priests, were arrested and executed. A more conservative faction emerged in Tashkent centered around the Ulema. The establishment of PKI in Aceh was met with stern resistance from the local "ulema". This modernization is opposed by most conservative "ulema". The revolt failed and Makram, an influential ally of the "ulema", was exiled to Damietta. His grandfather was a respected ulema in Batuhampar, near Payakumbuh.
