Riyad Abdullah

Riyad Abdullah — spelled Ustaz Riyaad Abdallaa in his scene — is an Ethiopian dawah preacher who works in Afaan Oromo. ¹ His main channel is his Facebook page (@riyadabdaallah), which counted 280,000 followers by the wave harvest's read of his posts' metadata on 7 November 2026 — a dated figure that rests on that harvest read, because Facebook profile fetch is blocked in the build environment, and not on a direct read by the museum. ²

His Afaan Oromo lectures are published on the Ifa Rahmataa TV ("Light of Mercy TV") YouTube channel, whose videos read on 7 November 2026 include his recent lectures on kindness to parents and on the prayer, the most recent of them updated three days before the read. ¹ A milestone post on his own Facebook page on 7 June 2026 marked the channel reaching 80,000 subscribers and more than 670 videos, by the harvest's read of that post. ² The channel also hosts other speakers, among them Sheikh Yasin Ahmed and Sheikh Jamaal Aliyyii, and an Afaan Oromo lecture by Ahmedin Jebel, so it functions as a shared dawah platform for the scene as well as the home of his own lectures. ¹

Riyad Abdullah's Facebook page stood at 280,000 followers in the harvest's read of 7 November 2026, placing him among the largest individual Afaan Oromo dawah voices on the platform. ² This record is deliberately minimal and honest: no Wikipedia article in any language and no Wikidata item could be found for him, the channel's own About page could not be read in this build, and no source read gives a birth date or attests a school of law for him himself, so neither is recorded here. ^{2 1}
