Most Impactful Alimah

Category #12 – Most Impactful Alimah

This category is seeking to award an Alimah that have shown through their work positive impact in the Mosque and/or in the surrounding community.

Impact could relate to changes in behaviour, change in community perceptions, contributions to community activities or programmes that are changing peoples lives. Due to COVID-19, many have used online platforms for webinars, talks and sessions – Alimahs that have engaged online with communities are encouraged to apply.

Judges will be looking for evidence or testimonials to demonstrate impact.
