Emerald Network and the Aziz Foundation launched its second edition of the ‘100 Inspiring Muslims: Next Generation’ a recognition of the brilliant diversity and talent among young British Muslims.
The list aligns with the vision to recognise the invaluable contributions British Muslims make to the ‘fabric of this country’. It features 50 individuals from the Aziz Foundation and 50 from the Emerald Network, all recognised for their inspiring work.
The list features rising stars in sport, business, media, charity, health, community with so many young people shaping pathways to change and progress across different fields and sectors.
The Muslim Council of Britain Secretary-General was also included in the list, responding to the recognition, Zara Mohammed said:
“I am deeply honoured by this recognition, as the first female Secretary-General it has been a great privilege to serve communities and this award is a really touching recognition for these efforts.
Despite the negativity Muslims are normally tarnished with, this list is uplifting, acting as a force of good, a reminder of the power of young people and how they are making change. I feel proud to be featured amongst them.
I was delighted to meet so many of the winners at the launch event including Abdullah, the security guard who saved the life of a young girl in Leicester square.
My warm congratulations to all those featured. I hope the list will be a great source of inspiration and my thanks to both Emerald Network and Aziz Foundation for serving as platforms for showcase the best talent within British Muslims.”
