    Summary

    Abdoul Wahab Dièye is a young Senegalese preacher who publishes daily religious teaching in short videos — Qur'an verses, advice and reminders — aimed particularly at young people. 1

    His TikTok account, @abdoulwahabdieye, counted 3,800,000 followers, 53.6 million likes and 429 videos when it was read on 5 November 2026 — the platform's own figures as read that day, and the verified basis of this entry, since the counts previously available for him came from an influencer directory rather than from the platforms themselves. 2

    His work and style

    The Senegalese influencer directory Seninfluenceurs describes him as a preacher engaged in spreading the Islamic faith and in spiritual elevation, whose interventions, videos and public speaking seek particularly to reach the young and to encourage a life centred on the principles of Islam. It notes his messages of wisdom, his simple approach and his ability to make sometimes abstract religious teachings accessible, with a popularity resting on his closeness to his audience, his clear language and his constancy. 1

    His themes, as the directory summarises them, are the relation to God, prayer, introspection and the reminder of the transience of earthly life — an authenticity of tone, a spiritual engagement, and a deliberate address to young people and their questions. His own TikTok bio carries the Qur'anic phrases "And Allah will protect you from the people" and "Call to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good exhortation", under the initials AWD. 1 2

    The directory also records that he fulfilled a long-held ambition of his spiritual path by performing the pilgrimage to Mecca, an event relayed by local media. 1

    Personal life

    The directory notes that he recently presented his wife to his followers, showing a more personal side of his life while emphasising values of piety and modesty. No further personal details are recorded here. 1

    Reach

    The verified figure is TikTok's own: 3.8 million followers as read on 5 November 2026. The directory also lists him at 685,000 followers on Instagram, 372,000 subscribers on YouTube and 215,000 on Facebook, but those are round directory approximations, not platform readings, and they are recorded here only as unverified directory figures. 2 1
