The Emerald  X Aziz Foundation Inspiring Muslims - Next Gen Edition launch event has taken place at SOAS, University of London. The launch celebrates 100 professionals, including 50 Aziz Alumni, recognised in Emerald 100's list of exceptionally talented British Muslims excelling in their respective industries.

During the evening, Aziz Foundation trustee Rahima Aziz BEM delivered a speech in which she said,

We are incredibly proud that 50 Aziz scholars and alumni are featured this year. They represent the very best of our community — not just in academic achievement, but in their determination to make a positive impact in society.

In a special award, Abdullah Tanoli was also honoured during the ceremony, for his extraordinary feat of bravery, saving the lives of a young girl and woman in Leicester Square on 12th August. He gave thanks to the Aziz Foundation for acknowledging his outstanding courage, leadership and dedication to the welfare of others.

The Foundation and its trustees would like to take the opportunity, once again, to congratulate everyone that made it on to the list.
