Sulaymaniyah

Sorani Kurdish Friday preacher of Sulaymaniyah in Iraqi Kurdistan. A peer-reviewed study published in 2025 in the Journal of Education for Humanities (Salahaddin University–Erbil) analyses one of his 33-minute Friday sermons — taken from a YouTube video — for its persuasion strategies, and calls him 'a well-known Kurdish preacher'. His official YouTube channel, started on 18 October 2013, counted 398,000 subscribers, 109,650,837 views and 11,458 videos as read by vidIQ on 8 November 2026, and his Instagram account counted 785,800 followers in Feedspot's listing updated on 5 November 2026.
