Sabah Ahmedi is one of the UK’s youngest Imams, and a member of Ahmadiyya Muslim community. Born and raised in Manchester, Sabah studied in London for seven years at Jamia Ahmadiyya UK – the Seminary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. Today he uses social media to advocate for improved understanding of the Islamic faith.
He believes religion and worldviews within the school curriculum is vital to underpin his work. When young people have dedicated school-based teaching that explains different values, traditions and beliefs they can better understand others. With the right information it is easy to draw similarities between one another, which leads to the formation of tolerance, acceptance and understanding.
Sabah regularly features in the national and regional media and has recently been interviewed by the BBC, ITV and Metro, to name but a few. He also works with the United Nations to tackle violent extremism.
