Dear Dr Nagdi,

On behalf of colleagues, friends, and the wider community, it gives me immense pleasure to extend our heartfelt congratulations to you on being awarded the distinction of Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA). This latest honour adds to your already distinguished recognitions and stands as yet another testament to your lifelong commitment to public service, civic leadership, and community development.

For over forty years of dedicated service to the Federation of Muslim Organisations of Leicester and Leicestershire, you have remained a pillar of principled leadership, wisdom, and unity. Through your steadfast efforts, you have strengthened community cohesion, fostered interfaith understanding, and elevated the voice of Leicester’s Muslim community at both local and national levels. Your contribution has not merely been organisational; it has been transformational.

This recognition is not only a personal achievement but a proud moment for the wider community whom you have served with distinction for decades. The award of FRSA appropriately recognises not simply professional accomplishment, but meaningful and lasting contribution to society. You now join a distinguished fellowship whose members have included eminent figures such as Stephen Hawking, Benjamin Franklin, and Charles Dickens, individuals whose work has shaped thought, innovation, and society itself.

It is entirely fitting that your decades of dedicated civic leadership stand among such company.

We also wish to acknowledge your tireless and compassionate work in establishing and strengthening Muslim burial services, both locally and nationally, a deeply significant service delivered with care, organisation, and foresight. This work alone has brought dignity, comfort, and solace to countless families and represents a legacy that will endure for generations.

Your leadership has consistently embodied integrity, humility, and an unwavering commitment to the common good. This well-deserved honour reflects not only your personal achievements, but the collective pride of a community that has witnessed your dedication, benefited from your wisdom, and been strengthened by your unity.

We pray that the Almighty continues to grant you strength, good health, and the ability to carry forward even more good work for the benefit of our community and the wider society, both locally and nationally.

With warmest congratulations and deep appreciation,

Najeeb Patel
