The Islamic Distinguished Enterprise Award (IDEA) 2025, recently held at Le Méridien Hotel Putrajaya, marked a significant milestone in recognizing Islamic entrepreneurs who seamlessly blend modern business acumen with enduring ethical values.
Now in its second edition, this prestigious accolade—organized by KNKV Group and officially endorsed by the Muslim Insiders Chamber of Commerce—has swiftly established itself as a beacon of excellence, integrity, and Shariah-compliant enterprise on the global stage.
The event received robust support from key partners: CTOS Data Systems as the official verification partner, Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK) as the strategic academic partner, the legal firm Hafarizam, Wan & Aisha Mubarak (HWAM) as the official legal partner, and Yayasan Mihrab as the official charity partner. Together, they ensure the award’s credibility, academic rigor, legal soundness, and social outreach.
Significantly, the IDEA Award transcends religious boundaries. It welcomes both Muslim and non-Muslim entrepreneurs who operate their businesses according to ethical and moral principles rooted in Islam. The award’s core mission is to celebrate enterprises that not only achieve commercial success but also embody fairness, honesty, transparency, and a genuine commitment to social responsibility.
Eligibility criteria are stringent. Candidates must demonstrate business practices that align with Islamic guidelines, particularly by avoiding haram transactions and maintaining full transparency in financial dealings. For food and beverage enterprises, halal certification is mandatory. Additionally, companies must show a proven track record of excellence, including annual sales exceeding RM1,000,000, compliance with Malaysian laws, and a strong reputation for customer satisfaction.
The selection process is thorough and meticulously designed. It begins with a pre-qualification phase, either through nomination or direct application, followed by document submission and verification. A business interview and financial assessment via CTOS ensure that only the most deserving enterprises advance.
The final decision lies with a distinguished jury panel drawn from the award’s Board of Advisors. Successful recipients are celebrated at a grand gala dinner and featured in a high-profile national publicity campaign, gaining invaluable media exposure and strategic networking opportunities.
This year, IDEA Award 2025 honoured 51 outstanding entrepreneurs and brands from Malaysia and abroad, reflecting the expanding influence of Islamic values in contemporary commerce. New award categories—including the Crown of Commerce Brand Award, Distinguished Halal Brand Award, Distinguished Everlast Brand Award, Distinguished Consumer Confidence Award, and Distinguished Quality Product Award—capture the full spectrum of excellence in Shariah-compliant enterprise, spanning product quality, consumer trust, sustainability, and social impact.
Among the notable Malaysian recipients were Jasmine Food Corporation, a key player in the national rice industry; Andalusia Travel and Tour Sdn Bhd, a leading provider of Umrah and Hajj services; and EZ Qurban, specializing in sacrificial and aqiqah services.
International honorees included Singapore’s Muslim Pro, Australia’s Human Appeal International, and China’s ZTE, underscoring IDEA’s role as a truly global platform celebrating Islamic enterprises worldwide. Media company mStar received the Distinguished Community Empowerment Award in recognition of its impactful corporate social responsibility initiatives, further highlighting the award’s emphasis on societal contribution alongside business success.

Astro, Malaysia’s premier media organization, was also recognized with the Anugerah Inovasi Media Unggul (Outstanding Media Innovation Award) for its unwavering commitment to producing Shariah-compliant content that educates and resonates with diverse audiences.
More than a moment of recognition, the IDEA Award 2025 represents a movement dedicated to fostering principled entrepreneurship. The event was honoured by the presence of distinguished figures such as Senator Dr. Zulkifli Hasan, Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs), and Yang Amat Mulia Tunku Dato’ Seri Utama Naquiyuddin ibni Almarhum Tuanku Ja’afar, Tunku Laksamana Negeri Sembilan. Their attendance symbolized the harmonious blend of heritage, governance, and the future of Islamic economic development.
Senator Dr. Zulkifli Hasan’s keynote address highlighted the Malaysian government’s strong commitment to advancing Islamic entrepreneurship and fostering an economy grounded in Shariah principles. He emphasized the critical role of ethical business practices in driving sustainable economic growth and inspiring entrepreneurs—both Muslim and non-Muslim—to uphold integrity, transparency, and social responsibility.
His speech reinforced the IDEA Award’s mission to elevate the stature of Islamic enterprises on national and international stages, aligning with Malaysia’s broader vision of a principled and resilient Islamic economy.
Also present were key leaders including Datuk Seri Dr. Zurainah Musa, Chairman of KNKV Group; Ms. Lee Shin Mei, Chief Operating Officer of CTOS Data Systems; Prof. Ts. Dr. Arham Bin Abdullah, Vice Chancellor of Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK); Dr. Nazratun Nafizah Binti A. Husin, Deputy Chairman of MIHRAB Foundation; Datuk Wan Azmir Bin Wan Majid, Managing Partner of Hafarizam Wan & Aisha Mubarak; Haji Norman Bin Yusof, Secretary General of Muslim Insiders Chambers of Commerce; and Prof. Madya Dr. Dzulkifli Bin Mukhtar, Dean of the Faculty of Entrepreneurship and Business, UMK.
In his keynote address, Professor (Adj) Hj Adam Richman, President of the Muslim Insiders Chamber of Commerce, underscored the vital importance of transparency and ethical accountability in business. He highlighted the use of CTOS data systems in the evaluation process as a practical embodiment of the Quranic principle of tabayyun (verification), referencing Surah Al-Hujurat, verse 6—ensuring that every assessment is conducted with fairness and truthfulness.
What truly distinguishes the IDEA Award is its commitment to nurturing sustainable, long-term success. Beyond the accolade itself, the program offers ongoing mentorship and strategic partnerships, empowering entrepreneurs to broaden their impact both locally and internationally. It serves not only as a platform for recognition but also as a catalyst for empowerment—supporting emerging and established enterprises alike in their pursuit of principled, Shariah-compliant growth.
At the heart of the award lies its iconic trophy, engraved with the Arabic phrase حي على الفلاح (“Hurry to Success”), taken from the call to prayer (Adzan). Its ribbon-like design symbolizes the entrepreneurial journey—marked by challenges, resilience, and triumph—culminating in success that honors both worldly achievement and spiritual purpose.
