AKIPRESS.COM - President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon for the fifth time has been listed among 500 most influential Muslims of the world, according to The Muslim 500-2020, published by the Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Center with the support from the Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding in Georgetown on October 2, the Islamic Strategic Studies Center reports.
Tajikistan's grand mufti Saidmukarram Abdulqodirzoda has also been listed among the world's 500 most influential Muslims.
This publication, which has been published since 2009, sets out to ascertain the influence some Muslim have on the worldwide Muslim community. Influence is: any person who has the power (be it cultural, ideological, financial, political or otherwise) to make a change that will have a significant impact on the Muslim World. The influence can be of a religious scholar directly addressing Muslims and influencing their beliefs, ideas and behavior, or it can be of a ruler shaping the socio- economic factors within which people live their lives, or of artists forming popular culture.
The publication notes that Emomali Rahmon has been President of Tajikistan since 1994. In 2013, he was elected to a fourth term in office. He has performed hajj and addressed OIC conferences. He has been a supporter of Tajik cultural roots, changing his name in 2007 from Rahmonov to Rahmon following a decree that banned Slavic names endings and other Soviet-era practices.
As far as Saidmukarram Abdulqodirzoda is concerned, the publication says he is the state-selected Grand Mufti and thus head of Tajikistan's Muslims, most of whom are Sunnis, and whose tradition includes following the Hanafi school in matters of jurisprudence and the Naqshbandi spiritual path. They belong to the Persian-speaking Tajik ethnic group who share a language, culture, and history with Afghanistan and Iran.
Sheikh Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani, who is a leading scholar of Hadith, Islamic jurisprudence and Islamic finance, tops the list of 500 most influential Muslims of the world. He is considered to be the intellectual head of the Deobandi School of Islamic learning, as well as an authority outside of the Deobandi School.
He is followed by Grand Ayatollah Hajj Sayyid Ali Khamenei, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, and His Highness the Aga Khan, the 49th hereditary Imam (spiritual leader) of the Shia Ismaili Muslims, were listed among Top 50 most influential Muslims of the world.
Presidents of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow were also listed among 500 most influential Muslims of the world.
