Sheikh Jamaludin Osman Haji

Sheikh Jamaludin Osman Haji is a Kenyan preacher and the Imam of Jamia Mosque, Nairobi, since May 2024. ^{1 2} He was born on 20 July 1986, was raised and schooled in Mombasa, and earned a bachelor's degree in Hadith at the Islamic University of Madinah in 2014 after a diploma in Arabic studies. ¹ His main channel is his Instagram account (@sheikhjamaludinosman), which counted 150,000 followers by the wave-196 harvest's read of his posts' metadata on 8 November 2026 — a dated figure that rests on that harvest read, not on a direct read by this writer, whose fresh re-read attempt in this build yielded no alternative dated figure. ³

His official website presents him as a preacher, imam and educator, states that he studied at the Islamic University of Madinah earning a Bachelor's degree in Hadith, and that he serves today as Imam of Jamia Mosque, Nairobi, dedicating his life to Islamic education, community leadership and da'wah. ² The site publishes his khutbahs, lectures and writings online, and his Instagram account is the channel the wave harvest measured; his X account (@JamaludinSheikh) was read by the harvest at 62,000 followers, below this lane's bar, so no source is registered for it here. ³ He tours Kenya on da'wah tours in Jamia Mosque's name, among them the Central Kenya tour of 7–10 May 2026, which covered Nyeri, Meru, Embu and Sagana and opened in Nyeri with a women's lecture and the Friday sermon at Qubaa Mosque. ⁴

His education began at St Augustine Preparatory in Mombasa, where he sat the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education in 2000; he was among the first students at the Abu Huraira Academy in Mombasa, completed his secondary education in 2004, and then memorised the Qur'an under Qari Hussein at Baitul Maal in Eastleigh in 2005–2006. ¹ In 2007 he went to the Islamic University of Madinah, where he obtained a diploma in Arabic studies followed by a bachelor's degree in Hadith in 2014; after returning he worked as headmaster at Markaz Noor in Mombasa in 2015 and as a Supervisor at RAF International University, Mombasa Branch, in 2018–2019. ¹ In October 2019 he became deputy Imam of Jamia Mosque, Nairobi, and in May 2024 he was appointed its Imam, succeeding the late Imam Muhammad Swalihu. ¹

Sheikh Jamaludin Osman's Instagram account stood at 150,000 followers in the wave harvest's read of 8 November 2026, the read this record rests on, disclosed as such, alongside the imamate of one of Kenya's most prominent mosques and da'wah tours documented in Kenyan press through May 2026. ^{3 4} This record is deliberately honest about its limits: no Wikipedia article in any language and no Wikidata item could be found for him in this build's searches, and no source read attests a school of law or an order for him himself — his Madinah degree in Hadith is scholarly formation, not a school attestation, and his imamate is an office, not an attestation — so his faith value stays unknown and none is recorded here. ^{2 1}
