This news has been received with great sadness here in ABCIB. Duncan and I in particular have known Mr Ali for more than 20 years and it will take a long time to believe that he is no longer with us …some time soon no doubt we will all come together to celebrate is enduring achievements and ponder the best way to realise his visions for the future.
Richard Thomas,
Managing Director ABCIB London

He made an enormous contribution to the promotion of Islamic banking and finance, and will be sadly missed.

Muazzam was vice-chairman of the Dar Maal Al Islami Group. He was instrumental in DMI’s expansion into Pakistan and the establishment of the Faysal banks in that important Islamic country. Muazzam was a pioneer of Islamic Banking in his own right. His unflagging integrity, his determination and his moral courage have set the best examples to Islamic Bankers all over the world. With his death, Islamic Banking and the wider Islamic world have lost one of their staunchest promoters.
Omar Ali
Former CEO DMI Geneva

Mr Ali was such a respected figure and he will be very much missed.

Whilst I had known Mr Muazzam Ali only for a short period he struck me as a man of conviction and great passion for the Institute.  He will be greatly missed.

Words are so inadequate to remember a truly towering personality. For his extended family & friends, he was a shield against all calamities – big & small. For the forces of tyranny he was a shining sword.
He will live till the harvest of his dreams. Some will remember his arguments to espouse the truth, some will remember his kindness - & there are many. Days & months will pass. One day the knots of grief will untie, and you & the family will calm. Death has not separated him.
