Assalaamu 'Alaykum

I do know that this annual list that is released does not mean much and is hardly accurate however it does give a good overview of who the "influential" Muslims are and some background into them.

2013 list of 'World's Most Influential Muslims' released

Cii News | 27 November 2013/23 Muharram 1435

The fifth annual issue of The Muslim 500, a listing of the world's 'most influential Muslims' has been released by the Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre in Jordan.

The publication sets out to ascertain the influence some Muslims have on the Muslim community, or on behalf of it, either positively or negatively.

As in previous years, the prestigious Top 50 positions on the list are dominated by religious scholars and heads of state. According to the publishers, the dominant and lasting influence of these players cannot be denied, especially the rulers, who in many cases also appoint religious scholars to their respective positions.

2013′s top position was scooped by Sheikh Ahmad Muhammad Al-Tayyeb, the Grand Sheikh of the Al Azhar University for what Muslim 500 said was the prominent role played by him in Egypt's troubled democratic transition. Al-Tayyeb was followed closely on the listing by Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdul-Aziz Al-Saud and Iranian Grand Leader Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei.

Reflective of the wider trajectory of the Arab Spring, this year's list shows a decline in influence from Muslim Brotherhood associated figures Dr Mohammed Badie, Sheikh Yusuf al Qaradawi and ousted Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi. Coup kingpin General Abdel Fattah Saeed Al-Sisi who was previously unlisted now ranks at 29.

Muslim 500′s Honourable Mentions section also sees the listing of popular Saudi Aalim Sheikh Mohammed al Arifi and singers Maher Zain and Sami Yusuf.

Nine South Africans feature on this year's list. They are cricketer Hashim Amla, Nasheed artist Zain Bhikha, Mufti Ebrahim Desai, Professor Farid Essack, Ferial Haffejee, Moulana Igsaan Hendricks, Sheikh Seraj Hendricks, Minister Ebrahim Patel and Dr Imtiaz Sooliman.

Other noteworthy entries:

Fethullah G�len: preacher, thinker and educator, who having assumed the leadership of the Nurcu religious movement-started by Said Nurs� (1887- 1960CE) - has gone on to become a global phenomenon in his own right.

Amir Hajji Muhammad Abd Al Wahhab: Amir of Tablighi Jamaat, Pakistan

Please don't mention names such as Dr Aamir Liaquat on here. Whoever made this list up is obviously not going by "Authentic", "Sahih", "Ahlus Sunnah" scholars.

I don't wish to back bite, slander nor break any rules, so I'd advise the others the same. If you want to know about him and his antics and non sense beliefs then that is a whole new thread which isn't worth the hassle.

Its pointless, the list comprises of many money makers and dodgy characters too. The list doesn't mean anything. Many Ulama's names will be tarnished being next to such people.

Its all based on regional likes and not authentic "religious" likes.

Iranian Grand Leader Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei is number 3. I think that should make it clear as brother afriki_haqq made clear that it does not mean much and is hardly accurate

Not much for anyone to say really. No need to discuss further in my opinion.

Please maintain respect for each other and Ulamaa (if topic is about a scholar) by avoiding accusations and slanderous comments. Also remember that in order for criticism to be constructive, it must be channeled in the right direction. If there is any doubt in a matter, it is better to ask, clarify or to remain silent rather than to speak ill of another person.

Inappropriate language will not be tolerated. Please kindly put your points across in a courteous and respectful manner.

The rule was posted for particular parts of the notification, the rule encompasses a few rules....which we use for various reasons.

The decision to post that particular rule was made after consultation....Authorizers and administrators decisions are not up for discussion.
