Izudin Alwy Ahmed

Izudin Alwy Ahmed is a Kenyan sheikh who teaches in Swahili. His YouTube channel (@izudinalwy), open since 31 August 2012, counted 193,000 subscribers by vidIQ as of 7 November 2026 — read on 8 November 2026 and matching ThoughtLeaders' FAQ figure of 193K from its 6 November 2026 crawl. ^{1 2} Kenya's Al Huda TV names him among the sheikhs of its "Mimbar ya Al Huda" programming. ³

The channel held 6,067 videos and 31,335,230 total views at the read, and ThoughtLeaders describes it as a Swahili channel on Islamic teachings and lifestyle publishing about four videos a week. ^{1 2} A recent video on his own channel, a Swahili lesson on what is done for the deceased before washing whose description reads "SHEIKH IZUDIN ALWY", was updated three days before the read, so the channel is still uploading. ⁴ Al Huda TV's programme videos list "Shk. Izudin Alwy Ahmed" in their keywords among the channel's sheikhs, on both "Mimbar ya Al Huda" and "Mawlid ya Mtume" programmes, alongside other Kenyan sheikhs. ³

The channel held steady at 193,000 subscribers through autumn 2026 by vidIQ's read, with over a hundred thousand views a month, ranked #557 in Kenya. ¹ This record is deliberately honest about its limits: his identity beyond his channel is thin — no Wikipedia article and no Wikidata item could be found for him, and no source read gives a birth date — so the record is built from the channel itself plus one trusted linked profile, Al Huda TV. The closest text to a classification is Al Huda TV's keyword list, which includes the phrase "Ahlusunna wal Jamaa" inside a long string of sheikhs' names; that is a broadcaster's channel metadata, not a text attesting a school for the man himself, so no classification is taken from it and his faith is recorded here as unknown. ^{3 2}
