Island that's good for religious leader (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mullah

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for religious leader' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'island that's good' is the wordplay.
'island' becomes 'mull' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'that's good' becomes 'ah' (sound made when satisfied or content).
'mull'+'ah'='MULLAH'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mullah that I've seen before include "Head of a mosque" , "Muslim teacher" , "Muslim learned in theology and sacred law" , "Islamic scholar" , "Muslim learned in Islamic theology and law" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
