15 Muslims named in Queen’s Jubilee Birthday Honours
By Elham Asaad Buaras

Fifteen members of the Muslim community (1 Dame, 1 CBE, 2 OBE, 8 MBE, 1 BEM and 2 MBE Diplomatic Service) received accolades in the Queen’s Jubilee Birthday Honours. The three women and 12 men represent the fields of education, voluntary service and enterprise.

Fifteen members of the Hindu and Sikh communities (4 BEM, 4 OBE, 7 MBE) and 19 from the Jewish community (2 Knighthoods, 6 CBE, 3 OBE, 5 MBE and 3 BEM) were also listed.

The highest accolade to a British Muslim went to London Olympics architectZaha Hadid who is to be made a Dame. The Aquatics Centre designer left Iraq at 17 to study at the American University of Beirut before attending the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London.

By 1980 she up a practice in London. Her buildings grace cities from Guangzhou, China, to Glasgow.

In 2010 she was commissioned to design Baghdad’s Central Bank - a prospect she described as “very emotional”.

Her buildings include the BMW Central Building in Leipzig; the Bridge in Zaragoza, Spain; the Riverside Museum at Glasgow’s Museum of Transport, and Guangzhou Opera House in China.

Calling the award “a tremendous honour” Hadid thanked her “colleagues and clients for their hard work and support”. “I am delighted that architecture has been recognised in this way. My father went to the London School of Economics in the 1930s, and everything he learned at the time is why I have always leaned towards the UK,” said Hadid in a statement to The Muslim News.

Kamal Hanif, head at Waverley School in Birmingham, has been appointed OBE for his services to education. Hanif became one of the youngest head teachers in England when appointed in 2005, aged 33.

He turned the school around to feature in the top 100 most improved for the past two years.

“I’m quite astonished to get this but really, really proud and it’s not just me, we all worked for this and it’s a joint achievement,” he said.
