Auntie Google Translate told me those stood for
  1. Thaqt al'Islam
  2. Hajat al'Islam
  3. Hajat al'Islam w'al Muslameen
  4. Kharij faqh
What they mean is a complete mystery. And I honestly feel like rolling on the floor in amusement at my ignorance!
Once you learn what theses words actually mean, you will realize that the people who are supposed to be of said caliber, do not exist.

So now would be a good time, to bail out.

A private is an ordinary soldier.
A lieutenant is the juniormost rank of officer, in most military organisations.
A major is the third rank, above lieutenant and captain.
A General is an officer appointed to command no individual soldiers, but only other officers; there are many kinds of general.

And then? Is it that religious ranks are arranged in similar fashion?

Exactly they are just ranks they show how much formal study somebody has in religious science. They don't show how competent a person is or if he really is worthy of the title .
In iran we had cleric who were low rank but stood for their belief. And what was right and there were.high ranking clerics who are called royal clerics (آخوند درباری) who were appointed by royalty and only followed what they were told to do.
