only? 595 unique hits is quite good you can never get more than 700 or so on any search. You might want to reread WP:GT. -

Delete, he translated a Sunni Hadith collection and the Qur'an. The author of this page authored the pages on both of those works, the best Amazon.com ranking of which is 251,000. Frankly, I'm not sure if notability is established here--I didn't see anything on his position at a University in the article or any of the links, and the External Link at the bottom is dead; and even that wouldn't necessarily establish notability per
WP:BIO or
WP:PROF. -- H·G (words/works)

Comment. I'd just like to suggest that if this is deleted (which seems to be an increasing possibility) then the articles of his two books should probably be nominated as well.

Weak keep although calling a 1000 page book a Summarized Sahih Al-Bukhari seems somewhat of a misnomer, it does suggest the work is non-trivial.

Keep and cleanup. Translating the version of the Qur'an that's distributed to pilgrims by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on the Hajj strikes me as a notable accomplishment.

Weak keep per above. Would be nice if the bio could be expaned to assert notability. I'm hitting a dead end with the exerternally linked bio. -

Keep and add to a subcat or two of
Category:Translators. Being a translator is not in itself an assertion of notability, but this chap seems significant anyway (see the
Amazon bio). There are also some accusations of inaccuracy (
[1]) which could be added if a reliable source is located. Considering the large numbers of people at
Category:Bible translators, it seems unnecessary to remove this Islamic equivalent.
