The creator of the account, Masoud Zareian, a clergyman and documentary maker, told BuzzFeed News he wished to show the varied lifestyle experienced by different clerics.
"While Muslim clerics' presence in people's life starts with their life and ends with death both inside Iran and outside, people don't have a clear understanding of Muslim clerics' life," he said.
When asked what he hopes the account will achieve, Zareian said he wished to open people's minds to the varied roles played by Islamic clergy men in everyday life
"I hope this page can create a dialogue between religions around the world, and prevent the prejudices and good understanding of Islam for free spirited people around the world."
