On faith, everything the sources offer is structure: Wikidata carries Islam on his item, and the English, Arabic and Urdu articles file him under Sunni Muslims — one structured family, which is not an attestation.{cite:source/wikidata-mohamed-abdullahi-mohamed}{cite:source/wikipedia-mohamed-abdullahi-mohamed-en}{cite:source/wikipedia-mohamed-abdullahi-mohamed-ar} No text in any language names a school for him, so his faith is entered as unknown, with the Sunni reading preserved in the record.
