The Grand Ballroom of Le Méridien Putrajaya lit up on 24th May 2025 with purpose and pride as the Islamic Distinguished Enterprise Award (IDEA) 2025 brought together a powerful assembly of entrepreneurs, leaders, and visionaries who are shaping the future of Islamic business.
Now in its second edition, the prestigious award, organised by KNKV Group and endorsed by the Muslim Insiders Chamber of Commerce once again proved that business success can go hand-in-hand with strong Islamic values.
Celebrating Purpose-Driven Businesses
According to Professor (Adj) Hj Adam Richman, President of the Muslim Insiders Chamber of Commerce, this year’s event is not just about celebrating business success but also inspiring more enterprises to boldly implement Shariah principles in their daily operations
“For example, the use of CTOS in the judging process aligns with the concept of tabayyun as outlined in Surah Al-Hujurat, verse 6, is a small step with a significant impact in building an ummah-driven economy rooted in integrity,” he shares.
VVIP Guests and Global Presence
The event was graced by YAM Tunku Laksamana Negeri Sembilan Tunku Dato’ Seri Utama Naquiyuddin ibni Almarhum Tuanku Ja’afar, alongside YBhg Datuk Seri Hajjah Dr. Zurainah Musa, Chairperson of KNKV Group. Their presence elevated the significance of the night, underscoring the importance of values-based business leadership.
But what truly made the award night stand out was its global footprint. Distinguished guests and recognitions came from near and far, including Muslim Pro (Singapore), Human Appeal (Australia), and ZTE (China). IDEA is fast becoming an international stage where Islamic excellence in entrepreneurship shines
Strong Backing, Stronger Message
The event was supported by key partners such as:
- CTOS Digital Berhad (Verification Partner)
- Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK) (Academic Strategic Partner)
- Hafarizam, Wan & Aisha Mubarak (HWAM) (Official Legal Partner)
- Yayasan Mihrab (Charity Partner)
Their contributions reinforced the event’s credibility, academic grounding, and community impact.
Beyond the Awards, A Movement Begins
IDEA 2025 proved one thing clearly: this isn’t just an annual gala. It’s a growing movement to build an ummah-driven economy, one that is transparent, socially responsible, and anchored in Islamic values.
As more businesses align their practices with faith and fairness, IDEA aims to continue being the beacon that celebrates not just who makes money, but how they make it.
