We are delighted to announce that our founder and CEO has been nominated for inclusion in a publication honouring the highest levels of achievement within the Muslim community.

Reacting to the news, Mr Mogradia said:

“I am humbled to make the list and hope it inspires others to do good in their communities. I have always lived by the motto ‘be in the service of others’. I am proud of my heritage and equally proud born and bred British Muslim. At a time when the Muslim community is going through a challenging period, we can recognise the efforts of individuals in providing leadership and a steer for community cohesion and harmony”.

In 2006 Mr Mogradia founded CBHUK – The Council of British Hajjis a registered charity which looks after the welfare of British Muslim Hajj and Umrah travelers– one of the 5th and final pillars of Islam in which Muslims must perform at least once in their lifetime”.

CBHUK works closely with industry stakeholders and the City of London Police to tackle Hajj travel fraud nationally as well as delivering health and safety seminars, training and travel vaccination clinics nationally.

Earlier this year under his leadership, the charity won the “Best Community Organisation Award 2018″ at the British Muslim Awards.
