THE 3RD WORLD MUSLIM LEADERSHIP FORUM Since the formation of the Islamic Calendar, the movement of the Muslim people in the form of Hijra, has been a pertinent part of the faith. As the Prophet (SAW) fled persecution from Makkah to Medina, Muslims today face similar issues of Islamophobia, radicalisation, terrorism and war. These issues have meant that every day, many Muslims hope to leave behind the state of injustice and oppression, to move from the fear of their land to hope and reliance upon Allah (SWT). This movement has meant a loss of the collective vision for a united Ummah. In understanding this the World Muslim Leadership Forum (WMLF) observes the need to consolidate leadership amongst the Muslim community in order to affect change within all aspects of life. Nevertheless, the conference also ascertains that Islamic values hold a unique perspective on the governance of the global community, and argues that in understanding Islam s spheres of influence within economics, sustainable development, global values and international institutions, Islamic perspectives can offer innovative solutions to current global crises. October 2016 will mark the biennial conference hosted by the World Muslim Leadership Forum (WMLF) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The conference will aim to address the impact Islamic values, beliefs and teachings have on global models. In understanding this impact, the WMLF highlights the influential position Islam holds towards a range of spheres such as; finance, jurisprudence, development and knowledge. The WMLF understands the need for Muslims to be the forerunners in these spheres, in order to be agents of change within the globalised world. The conference shall therefore bring leaders, contemporary scholars and experts from various fields together to illustrate the significant and unique contributions Islam can, and does make, to global issues. WHO SHOULD ATTEND? Board of Directors C-Level Executives and Business Owners Mid to Senior Level Managers Government Officials Non-Governmental Organisations and Non-Profit Organisations Scholars UN bodies Interfaith community His Royal Highness Sultan Nazrin Shah, Sultan of Perak officiating the opening of the 1st World Muslim Leadership Forum held in London.

Islamic principles hold these notions at their core, underwriting humanity, rights and obligations towards others at their core. These principles, however, are not confined to finance but rather fall under numerous categories. Therefore, the session shall engage on the importance of Islamic principles and faith within global relations and illustrate the benefits these principles hold in constructing viable solutions for global problems.

PARALLEL SESSION II - MUSLIM CONTRIBUTIONS IN THE 21 ST CENTURY C. THE HALAL ECONOMY HALAL PRODUCTS AND SUPPLY CHAINS FOR THE WORLD MARKET In 2013 halal products accounted for more than 16% of the total food and drink industry. The Dubai Chamber of Commerce estimated the Halal food market at USD1.1trn in 2013, and forecast the industry to reach 1.6trn by 2018. With an industry worth more than USD1.1trn can Halal food production be an effective vehicle to promote sustainable farming and agriculture? As the ever increasing global population drives demand for produce, food demand is set to increase 60% by 2050 presenting significant pressure on food production. Therefore, this session shall focus on how Halal produce, as a mass-consumerist business can provide ethical, sustainable and ecological solutions to the world s current climate and produce issues.

LESSONS FROM PROPHETIC LEADERSHIP IN TIMES OF CRISES TEACHINGS OF THE PROPHET (SAW) FROM THE MAKKAN PERIOD The current global economy appears unjust to many. Huge wealth disparities, exploitation of workers and a business system which no longer remains a meritocracy are regular occurrences within the business world. The Prophet (SAW) emphasized that honesty and kind dealings with customers are the secrets of success in business. His teachings laid down many ethical values which are not unique to Islamic society, but rather complement universal ethical values. The session therefore aims to look at the Prophets (SAW) teachings from a business perspective and illustrate the ways in which Islam offers solution to the current issues within the global economy.
