Image review

File:Satti Majid.jpg N The image is not a work of the uploader, it is said to be from "Satti Majid Own family", and licenced as CC-by-sa. We need a link that proves that the image is indeed licenced that way.

Lead and infobox

"...also known as Shaykh al-Islam in North America..." Is the "In Nort America" part of the name, or just a description of the place where the name is used? If it is the later, use the bold only on the name.

Early life

"His name Satti means "the poor" in Dongolawi language, contemporary "the reciters of the Qur’an."" I do not understand what does the second part means. Is it another meaning of the name?
"He began his education at the khalwa..."
"journey" does not sound formal enough when talking about studies.
"He emigrated to Egypt in the era of the Mahdist state (1885–1899), that was not in agreement with the Khedive government." Is that relevant for some reason? Did the disagreements between governments limit the emigration, or something like that?

Departure from Sudan (early 1900s – 1920s)

"...Majid's departure from Sudan was likely to counter perceived anti-Islamic sentiments..." Sentiments in society, or specifically towards him?

Buffalo (late 1920s)

"Satti Majid's influence as a religious leader was challenged by Achmed Ali" And who is that Ali guy, and why did he clash with Majid?
"The group, comprising Arab immigrants and black American." This sentence lacks a predicate.

Noble Drew Ali and departure from the US

Is this Noble Drew Ali related to the Achmed Ali mentioned earlier?
Replace the generic link "prophet" with Prophets and messengers in Islam
"During that time Satti Majid viewed Ali as part of an attempt to spreading sceptical views about the finality of Prophet Muhammad's message, particularly focusing on Noble Drew Ali's claims of prophethood..." You should mention the Seal of the Prophets there.

Egypt and return to Sudan

Seems fine

Personal life and death

"He died on 17 March 1963" Is that all? Did he die of old age, or because or some illness or injury? Was he buried somewhere? Was there a funeral?

Legacy and influence

The photos of Elijah Muhammad and Malcolm X take too much space, and move into the notes and references sections. Use smaller photos, add more text, or select just one.

Those are the issues I have seen so far. Cambalachero (talk) 16:31, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
