Sabah Ahmedi portrait
Hello

I'm Sabah. An imam, a broadcaster, and a storyteller.

I became one of Britain's youngest imams in my early twenties. Since then, I've spent my time doing one thing: opening up conversations about Islam that this country doesn't usually get to hear.

On Sky News one minute, in a school hall the next, then back to writing a sermon for Friday prayers. I work across faith, media, education and culture, because all of them shape what people think Muslims are.

What I do

Four roles, one mission.

01

Speaker

Keynotes and panels on faith, identity, masculinity and modern British Islam. Schools, festivals, corporates, conferences.

02

Broadcaster

Live commentary and interviews with the UK's biggest news outlets. Calm, direct, human. The voice they call when the story breaks.

03

Imam

Serving my community day in, day out. The work nobody sees. Leading prayers, supporting families, answering the questions that matter.

04

Creator

Building content that meets people where they actually are. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, podcasts. Faith without the fluff.

Watch

See me in motion.

Speaking

The stage is where this starts.

I've spoken to rooms full of teenagers in inner-city classrooms, boardrooms in Mayfair, and audiences in places I never expected to end up. The mission is the same in every room: make faith make sense.

  • Faith and identity in modern Britain
  • Tackling extremism and Islamophobia
  • Muslim masculinity and mental health
  • Faith leadership in a digital age
  • The future of British Islam

What people say

The rooms remember.

"
Placeholder testimonial. Sabah's our first call when we need a calm, clear voice on faith. He turns up prepared, lands the message, and leaves the room better than he found it.

"
Placeholder testimonial. We booked him for a keynote and ended up planning a five-event series. The audience response was unlike anything we've had at the conference.

Placeholder testimonial. Working with Sabah on our schools programme has shifted how staff and students talk about religion. Genuine impact, not box-ticking.

Collaborations

Brands I work with.

I work with a small number of brands every year. Always values-led. Always authentic to the audience that trusts me. If you're a brand looking to reach the British Muslim community properly, I'm interested.

Long-form campaigns

Multi-touchpoint partnerships across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and live appearances. Built around a story, not a single post.

Single activations

One-off content drops, event appearances, ambassador moments. Quick to brief, fast to land.

Cause partnerships

Charity, education, social impact. The work that matters most. Reduced rates and pro bono considered.

Watch & listen

Long-form, in my own words.
