  "summary": "Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Defence Forces Asim Munir have both topped the latest list of the world's 500 most influential Muslims, according to the Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre (RISSC). This is the first time that the list features multiple names at the top spot, reflecting the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. The agreement, which unites the military strength of Pakistan, the advanced technology of Turkey, and the economic wealth of Saudi Arabia, has significantly reshaped regional politics. Other notable figures on the list include Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, Jordan's King Abdullah II, and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.",
