FEEDBACK
I
was proud to see your DS100 listing at http://www.dinarstandard.com
It is about time that privately owned and operated
Muslim businesses are ranked, recognized and publicized.
This will further encourage Muslim entrepreneurship
and away from the government influenced or controlled
models.

Salaam
Alaykum - peace be upon you. I was very curious
to see your list, especially because it mentioned
about some Indonesian Top Notch companies. However,
after I surfed your website, I found that the
Indonesian companies listed are mostly the state
companies and the private companies owned by Indonesian
Chinese, who are not Muslims. Knowing this information,
I'm just worried if our Muslim brothers from other
countries outside Indonesia read your article,
and get the perception that Indonesian Muslims
are very rich and or have a very good business
performance. In fact, they are not in such a good
state as you put in your list (for Indonesian
private companies).
It
would be very important for you to also know and
investigate the ownership of the companies you
will put in the 100 Top Companies, whether the
owner is a Muslim, because the focus of the list
is Muslim World. Thank you for your attention.

I had browse on your page "Top 100 Companies of
the Muslim World". I think that you had put a
non-Muslim companies in the list. The company
is Genting Berhad.It is ranked as 99 over 100.
It is please to hope that you could check the
company status again. These is a link of their
board director "http://www.genting.com/directors/gb.htm".
One of their income is in gambling. If I'm not
mistaken, gambling is not a legimate industry
in Islam. Thanks.

I
am unclear about the methodology behind this list
and thus, its meaningfulness. How did you select
a "muslim business"? Is it because the controlling
shareholder or CEO is muslim? Is it because a
majority of employees are muslim? Is it because
the business is headquartered in an OIC member
country? I ask because in the case of multi-religious
Malaysia, which has 18 companies on the list,
defining a "muslim business" is not straightforward.
For example, your list includes a Malaysian company
with substantial revenues from casino operations.
How ironic.

Relating
to many questions recieved on DS100 Criteria:
In
the ranking, our criteria was to include
all domestic companies based in OIC countries.
At this time we did not add another filter
to qualify a 'Muslim' company. Please see
the detailed criteria on the following link:
http://www.dinarstandard.com/rankings/ds100/criteria.htm
Overall the spirit of this ranking is to
raise the profile of the corporate sector
within the 57 OIC member states that is
why the ranking is labelled 'Top 100 Businesses
of the Muslim World' and NOT 'Top 100 Muslim
Businesses.' Perhaps at some point we may
consider applying the Sharia filter seperately.
Also,
Please see our section on what we mean by
Muslim Business. http://www.dinarstandard.com/about/define.htm
