Title given to the prayer leader in a Sunni mosque (4)

I believe the answer is:

imam

(Other definitions for imam that I've seen before include "Ma, I'm off to find religious Muslim" , "Moslem prayer leader" , "Authority on Islamic doctrine and law" , "man of prayer" , "Strict religious leader" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
