Amr Khaled

Khaled's recognition comes through influence rather than competitive awards. Being named to Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in 2007 placed him among global leaders and thinkers. His profile in The New York Times Magazine in 2006 as "the world's most famous and influential Muslim television preacher" underscored his reach. With nearly 35 million Facebook followers, he stands as one of the most-followed religious figures on social media.
