No assertion of notability within the article, and research doesn't turn up much other than his own publications. Searching shows this subject does not pass WP:BASIC general notability guidelines, nor does he appear to pass WP:AUTHOR: he's neither the subject of substantial coverage by multiple reliable third parties, nor is he widely cited by peers that I can see.

Keep - have added citations to the article, a new Reception section with a detailed critique of Iqbal's Science and Islam, and a brief account of the war-on-terror controversy around Iqbal that hit the newspapers in 2003, with citations. I suspect that alone would make him notable, but there's more to him than that. Hope you find the article improved now. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:00, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
