We are preparing the 2019 edition of the Muslim 500 and are now opening nominations from the public. Nominations will be evaluated on the basis of the influence that particular Muslims have had within the Muslim community and the manner in which their influence has benefited the Muslim community, both within the Islamic world and in terms of representing Islam to non-Muslims.
Nominations will close on July 8, 2018
As the process of evaluating influence must account for many factors, nominators should include pertinent information and links where other information can be obtained. Letters of nomination should thus be comprehensive, but no longer than 500 words.
The final outcomes will draw from the information received in nominations, and will be based upon the research of our staff and input from academic consultants.
Points that will be considered and that you should address in your nomination include:
- Area of Influence (e.g. religious, political, academic)
- Geographical Region of Influence
- Number of People Influenced
- Duration of Influence
- Notable Contributions
- Pioneering Work
Eligibility: Nominees must be Muslim, must be actively working in their sphere of influence, and must be respected and recognized by their peers.
