Many of these non-Muslim communities were accorded the status of <i><a href="/wiki/Millet_(Ottoman_Empire)" title="Millet (Ottoman Empire)">Millet</a></i> (nation/religion). The recognized Millet communities were granted a large measure of autonomy in the handling of its internal affairs, including administration of its holy places, the appointment of clergy, and regulating the personal status of the members of the community. Conflicts over the ownership of the holy places were protected by a <a href="/wiki/Status_Quo_(Jerusalem_and_Bethlehem)" title="Status Quo (Jerusalem and Bethlehem)">Status Quo</a> principle. Whatever community controlled the holy place at the time of the Ottoman conquest, had the right to maintain this control. Islam was the religion of the Ottoman state and the Sultan was also the <a href="/wiki/Caliph" class="mw-redirect" title="Caliph">Caliph</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Amir_al-Mu%27minin" title="Amir al-Mu'minin">Commander of the Faithful</a>. The Muslim community did not enjoy any autonomous position, similar to the recognized religious communities, nor was there any need for such a status for the majority <a href="/wiki/Sunni" class="mw-redirect" title="Sunni">Sunni</a> Muslims. The Ottomans generally followed the <a href="/wiki/Hanafi" class="mw-redirect" title="Hanafi">Hanafi</a> school of Islamic jurisprudence (<a href="/wiki/Madhab" class="mw-redirect" title="Madhab">madhab</a>) but other schools were also accepted.

All the communities recognized by the Ottoman authorities continued to be recognized by the British. Since the British Empire was Anglican Christian, the British rule affected the position of Islam in Palestine. Islam was no longer the governing religion of the country, although it was still the majority religion. The Mandatory authorities did not formally grant Islam the status of a Millet community, but it instituted a <a href="/wiki/Supreme_Muslim_Council" title="Supreme Muslim Council">Supreme Muslim Council</a>, that ensured the Islamic religion an autonomy equal to that of the Millet religions.
