Delete the single source in the article isn’t independent and doesn’t discuss him. It’s an archive of the magazine he published. I’ve searched in English and Urdu and all I see is a couple of blogs and footnotes. Nothing in RIS discussing this subject. Mccapra (talk) 02:31, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Delete there are no citations or references, he's non notable. Devokewater (talk) 10:11, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Delete: The only source is AliIslam, who is generally noted for providing platform to many writers but most of them can't pass WP:N. Zakaria1978 (talk) 06:45, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:SIGCOV, WP:CLERGY, and my standards for clerics. There's very little sourcing, and he never held the title of Grand mufti or Ayatollah in Islam. Leading a mosque, even in a large city, does not make one automatically notable. Bearian (talk) 00:56, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
