Strictly speaking, the ruler of a Moslem Kingdom (such as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) is a King ("Mulk" in Arabic). However, a Sultanate is also a hereditary dictatorial regime, a kingdom in everything but name and the ruler of a Sultanate is a Sultan.
As concerns the religious leaders, the term Caliph ("Khalifa" in Arabic) refers to the head of the Sunni Islam, but his power diminished greatly after the transfer from the Rightly-Guided Caliphs to the Umayyad Caliphs in the late 600s. The last Caliph died without leaving an heir in Turkey in 1936. Today, religious scholars or ("Alim/Ulemaa" in Arabic) are regional leaders of the Islamic Religion.
