Il 500 Most influential muslims

The publication is the first of what we hope will be an annual series that provides a window into the movers and shakers of the Muslim world.

Aħna stinkajna biex nenfasizzaw nies li huma influwenti bħala Musulmani, that is, people whose influence is derived from their practice of Islam or from the fact that they are Muslim.

We think that this gives valuable insight into the different ways that Muslims impact the world, and also shows the diversity of how people are living as Muslims today.

Influence is a tricky concept. Its meaning derives from the Latin word influens meaning to flow-in, li tipponta lejn idea astroloġika antika li forzi li ma jidhrux (like the moon) jaffettwaw lill-umanità. The figures on this list have the ability to affect humanity too. In a variety of different ways each person on this list has influence over the lives of a large number of people on the earth. Il 50 most influential figures are profiled. L-influwenza tagħhom ġejja minn varjetà ta 'sorsi; however they are unified by the fact that they each affect huge swathes of humanity.

We have then broken up the 500 mexxejja 15 kategoriji — Akkademiku, Politiku, Amministrattiv, Nisel, Predikaturi, Nisa, Żgħażagħ, Filantropija, Żvilupp, Xjenza u Teknoloġija, Arti u Kultura, Midja, Radikali, International Islamic Networks, and Issues of the Day—to help you understand the different kinds of ways Islam and Muslims impact the world today.

Two composite lists show how influence works in different ways: International Islamic Networks shows people who are at the head of important transnational networks of Muslims, and Issues of the Day highlights individuals whose importance is due to current issues affecting humanity.
