It is with sadness that we share the news of the passing of Professor Khurshid Ahmad, one of the leading Muslim thinkers and Islamic economists of our time. Giving over five decades towards furthering Islamic thought research and education in the West, Professor Ahmad died on Sunday, in the British city of Leicester — where he had co-founded The Islamic Foundation 52 years prior. And it is a huge loss, in particular, for the Muslims of the West, because Professor Khurshid Ahmad was one of the leading scholars who offered an intellectual discourse regarding the presence of Muslims in the UK.
