Japan had taken annexed Korea already in 1910 as part of its imperial aggression and expansion in Asia.  Japan continued to maintain control of Korea until the final year of World War II, in 1945.  Soviet forces battled Japan in Asia in the later part of 1945.  After the USA dropped atomic bombs on Japan in August, 1945, Soviet forces moved into Korea from the north.  American forces took over in the south.  From then on, the country was divided at the 38th parallel between a communist northern half and democratic southern half.

islamic religious leaders have traditionally been people who, as part of the clerisy, mosque, or government, performed a prominent role within their community or nation. however, in the modern contexts of muslims minorities in non-muslim countries as well as secularised muslim states like turkey, indonesia and bangladesh, religious leadership may take a variety of non-formal shapes.

compared to religious leaders/clerics of the other abrahamic faiths, islamic clergy are said to resemble rabbis and not priests. unlike catholic priests they do not "serve as intermediaries between mankind and god",[1] have "process of ordination",[2] or "sacramental functions",[1] but instead serve as "exemplars, teachers, judges, and community leaders," providing religious rules to the pious on "even the most minor and private" matters.[1]
