"ISNA is the longest-standing Muslim organization in America and has been a trailblazing organization in supporting the establishment of so many institutions in this country,” he said. “ISNA has been the largest Muslim-run conference in the country to facilitate the convening of people of all thoughts and backgrounds to say their piece. So many generations of some of the best Muslim minds have come through ISNA. Leaders of Muslim communities, world-renowned speakers, and organizational heads made their names at ISNA by once serving on ISNA leadership, speaking at conferences, or simply by association.”

Magid reflects on previous contributors and speakers saying, “All the pioneers who have done amazing work outside of ISNA have made great contributions to this organization. Some are no longer with us, may Allah bless their souls, but for the ones who are, may Allah continue to bless them in their work and give them long lives of service.”
