Al-Azhar is a very famous big mosque (masjid in Arabic) in Egypt. Al-Azhar, like any other mosque, has been a place of worship. However, Al-Azhar was used to teach Muslims different subjects like Arabic and Islam as well. Nowadays, Al-Azhar is the name of a university located in Egypt too.

Who is the current today's Islam leader?

Muslims follow the Quran and the Sunnah. Quran is the sacred book that God has sent to Earth and Sunnah is the ways of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.

What is the title given to Islam's highest leaders?

Imam because Quran says prophet Ibrahim a.s. could reach to this rank after passing exams. so Imam is a higher rank than prophet. also Messenger of God Muhammad SAWW was both messenger and Imam at the same time. Imam has two meanig: one is a general word used by people about any leader so in this meaning it is given as a title by people. but another meaning is specific and is a title given by God to special people who are infallible and are representative of God and are leader of humans for religion and meeting God. word of Imam is used in Quran in different verses. for example God gives the title of Imam to prophet Ibrahim a.s. in below verse and so Imam is given to some leaders. according to Shia Islam Messenger Muhammad SAWW was an Imam and after him God selected 12 Imams and 12th of them is currently alive but at occultation and still some beleivers can meet him. the verse that says God given title of Imam to prophet Ibrahim a.s. after passing exams is this: And remember that Abraham was tried by his Lord with certain commands, which he fulfilled: He said: "I will make thee an Imam to the Nations." He pleaded: "And also (Imams) from my offspring!" He answered: "But My Promise is not within the reach of evil-doers." [2:124] Any prophet/messenger is not Imam and any Imam is not prophet/messenger. for each one there are requirements that after tries one can have it. there are prophet in history who were not Imam and there are Imams in history who are not prophet. _____________________________________________________- Imam or Alimam AlAkbar (Sheikh Algamea AlAzhar). However the title Imam or Alimamam AlAkbar are titled given by people but prophet and/or messenger are titles given by Allah (or God in English and same God in Christianity and Judaism). So, it is logic that prophet/messenger is of higher rank than Imam/AlImam. Any prophet/messenger is Imam to his people but not every Imam is prophet/messenger.
