- Keep This is a pretty much notable book, and is subject of books, for instance, this 1978 work, consider this more than a paragraph, this as well - and I believe there is more. ─ The Aafī (talk) 15:53, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: per WP:SUSTAINED. The book is of sufficient esteem and merit to be the subject of a fresh 2017 translation and revision into English, demonstrating the sustained notability of the work over time. The work is also widely cited on Google Books. Muslimnews International, in its 1970 volume 9, page 11, called it a "celebrated" work - again evidence of sustained interest over the intervening decades, now tallying up to nearly a century.
