Notability? ~Moheen Ree ^{(keep talking)} 17:27, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Reasonable notability: director of "an institution for higher Islamic research and education", founder of magazines, quite a few books. Staszek Lem (talk) 17:38, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article is written and sourced poorly, and upon first glance it seemed like a notability issue. However, the sources do seem to come from a variety of unrelated sources, some governmental while others from large institutions of learning, and the subject's educational background appears to be international (Usmani and Abu Ghuddah are highly respected and not only by their own sects, which is a sad rarity). I'd say the subject passes the notability test and also contributes to a critical area: the overwhelming majority of articles created on South Asian religious figures are about non-notable subjects in an attempt to generate attention via Wikipedia. When a legitimate attempt is found to write an article on a notable subject in good faith, then there is a serious contribution to a subject area which is lacking.
