Overview:
Singapore’s Muslim community has a vibrant and growing presence on social media. From entertainers and entrepreneurs to modest fashion voices, fitness advocates, and comedic creators.
Whether you’re a brand looking to reach the Malay-Muslim demographic, or simply want to discover authentic voices from within the community, here are 21 Muslim influencers in Singapore worth following.
GENERAL INFLUENCERS & CONTENT CREATORS
1. Donjany — @_donjany
Platform: Instagram, TikTok Followers: ~105K (Instagram) Niche: Islamic lifestyle, community, youth empowerment, charity
Real name Muhammad Noor Tijany, Donjany is one of Singapore’s most recognisable Muslim content creators — a video creator, entrepreneur, and community builder whose work consistently centres on goodness. He is the co-founder of AlFajr.SG, Fajr Plus, and FajrMart.SG — platforms dedicated to Islamic education and uplifting the Muslim community. His content spans motivational videos, Islamic teachings, and community campaigns, with a strong focus on youth empowerment and emotional well-being. He is also known for heartfelt charity content — including viral videos of him distributing biryani and free haircuts to migrant workers on National Day, which earned him widespread public praise. A grounded and genuine voice in Singapore’s Muslim digital space.
2. Syafiqa — @syafiqapls
Platform: Instagram, TikTok Followers: ~239K Niche: Comedy, lifestyle, illustration, Muslim youth content
Syafiqa is known for her vibrant, relatable personality and quick humour — she is an actor for SGAG and also a visual artist who does her own illustrations, making her a genuinely multi-talented creator. Her content resonates strongly with young Singaporean Muslims, and her ability to make people laugh while keeping her identity as a Muslim woman front and centre gives her a distinct authenticity. She is one of the more widely followed Malay-Muslim voices in Singapore’s entertainment-adjacent creator space.
3. Fahmy Hussin — @fahmy213
Platform: Instagram, TikTok
Niche: Islamic photography, spiritual gatherings, mawlid, da’wah aesthetics
Fahmy is a Singapore-based Muslim photographer whose work occupies a rare and deeply meaningful niche, capturing the beauty of moments, not just images. He is known for documenting Singapore’s Islamic spiritual landscape through his lens: mawlid gatherings, the presence of habaibs (descendants of the Prophet ﷺ), and the quiet, luminous atmosphere of devotional events. His photography has a distinctly reverential quality, less about aesthetics for aesthetics’ sake, and more about bearing witness to sacred moments and making them visible to those who weren’t there. In a space dominated by lifestyle and fashion content, Fahmy’s work serves the community differently: it preserves memory, honours tradition, and invites reflection. For brands and organisations in the Islamic space particularly those running spiritual events, mawlid programmes, or da’wah initiatives, his visual storytelling carries an authenticity that is difficult to manufacture.

Why Muslim Influencers Matter for Brands in Singapore
Singapore’s Muslim community makes up approximately 15% of the population, with strong purchasing power and high social media engagement. A few things make this segment particularly compelling for brands:
Community trust runs deep. Recommendations from within the Muslim community — especially from influencers who are visibly practising their faith — carry significant weight. Halal certification, modest values, and cultural sensitivity aren’t just nice-to-haves; they are non-negotiables for this audience.
Cross-platform strength. Singapore’s Muslim influencers tend to maintain presence across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, enabling multi-touchpoint campaigns.
Lifestyle + faith integration. The most effective Muslim influencers in Singapore don’t compartmentalise their faith from their content — their Islamic identity is woven naturally into what they share about food, fashion, family, and fitness. This authenticity is what builds trust.
Regional reach. Many Singapore-based Muslim influencers have followings that extend across the Malay-speaking world — Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei — making them powerful vehicles for regional campaigns.
