A recent list has been circulated naming the top 500 most influential Muslims in the world.

Whilst there has been a fair amount of controversy around the list, it is encouraging to note that 12 South Africans were on that list.

Amongst them was Brother ZA Cajee of Awqaf SA, an affiliate of MPN. We congratulate Brother Zeinoul and all those other South Africans on the list (Professor Farid Esack. Sheikh Serak Hendricks, Maulana Igshaan Hendricks, Hashim Amla, Ebrahim Patel, Naeem Jeenah, Dr Imtiaz Suliman, Ferial Haffejee, Zain Bhika and Shafiq Morton, Professor Ebrahim Moosa), and are hopeful that the Muslim community will produce increasing numbers of people who are influential in the world’s in which they live. 

A pristine aspiration for us as a community: “Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong: they are the ones to attain felicity.” Quran s3- vs 104
