I don't think they do, I've heard comments from Grand Mufti's but they're basically state by state. I don't think that Islam has ever had a guy at the top of the chain probably because the prophet is at the top of the chain.

I think Islam is far more splintered then Christianity which makes having one person at the head of it impossible.

Its a scholar religion in theory so power isn't put in the hands of a few people.
