Kishki Online TV

Kishki Online TV is a Tanzanian Swahili dawah media outlet built around Sheikh Nurdeen Kishki, publishing Friday khutbahs, lectures (mihadhara) and lessons. ^{1 2} It was the first Islamic channel of its kind in Tanzania to receive a YouTube cash prize and Silver Award. ¹ Its YouTube channel (@kishkionlinetv) counted 371,000 subscribers by vidIQ's count as updated on 4 November 2026. ²

The YouTube channel was created on 2 September 2017, its channel country is set to Tanzania, and vidIQ records 6,880 videos and 40,419,353 total views for it, ranked #184 in Tanzania. ² The Africa Press report, for its part, states that Sheikh Kishki's Islamic centre was established in March of "last year" relative to the report — about 2020 by the report's internal evidence; the two dates belong to two different things (the channel and the centre) and are related here separately, not fused. ^{1 2}

Among the channel's programmes named by the Africa Press report are Street Da'awa (sermons on the streets); Islam in the Old Books, in which he teaches the Qur'an, Bulugh al-Maram and Riyadh as-Salihin; and Fadhakir, aired every Friday at 2:30 p.m. ¹ The wave-196 harvest's reading of the channel adds further regular strands — Wadhakir on Fridays, Maswali na Majibu (questions and answers), Safari ya Ndoa (a marriage series) and Darasa la Mirathi (inheritance lessons) — and notes that the channel also carries lessons by other sheikhs, among them Sheikh Abdallah al-Ahdal's Arba'in an-Nawawi lessons; those last details are the harvest's reading, not facts from a separately registered source opened in this run.

At the announcement of the Silver Award the subscribers had reached 120,000, and Sheikh Kishki thanked more than eight million viewers who had watched his channel and promised to continue providing quality programmes. ¹ The count has since risen to 371,000 subscribers as of vidIQ's update on 4 November 2026. ² These figures remain dated platform counts, as read on their day, not facts the museum verifies. ²

This run attempted a fresh re-read of the subscriber count on 8 November 2026: vidIQ's page was re-opened that day and still showed its 4 November 2026 update with the same 371,000 figure, and searches for a Social Blade or SocialCounts page for this channel returned no figure, so the dated vidIQ figure of 4 November 2026 is carried as the primary count with the failed re-read disclosed. ² No Wikipedia article and no Wikidata item for the channel were found in the harvest pass, so no external identifier is recorded here. The sources read document no founding date for any entity wider than the channel itself, so no founding date is given beyond the YouTube channel's creation. ^{2 1}
