  • Comment: I have cleaned up some of the tone from the first half of the article for you; do not restore flattery/praise, formal religious honorifics, etc. Those are perfectly fine to use in the religious setting of your choice, but Wikipedia is for readers of all backgrounds and so does not follow any particular community's formalities.

  • Comment: This is an encyclopedia, we do not permit phrases like The Holy Saint, as we shall refer to him hereafter as a mark of deep reverence. Please not we have hundreds of articles about extremely important and widely-recognised prophets and clergy, and yet we manage to describe them in a neutral, factual tone without praise or opinion.
    If you are not able to write this article without extensive flattery, honorific titles ("Hazrat"), etc, then you will not be able to write an article on Wikipedia. Please think of a few of the most famous Islamic scholars you know, take a look at the Wikipedia pages for them, and recognise how those articles are written in a neutral and factual style. If you can emulate that, and if you can find proper WP:Sourcing for this article from news or journalism (in any language), which does note include websites or articles by his followers, only then can we proceed.

  • Comment: Still lacking in independent third-party references. Actual notability seems questionable as I can find little about him (although normal for a person in a non-english speaking country). LionMans Account (talk) 16:03, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
