For that matter, Islam probably has less of a record of witch-hunting than Christianity. A wizard who presents as a scholar, doesn't claim that his powers make him theologically special, and shows up at the mosque on Fridays, might well be seen as basically okay.

Pretty sure magic is forbidden there. They're still executing people for practicing magic to this day, including street performers. This setting is literally spitting in Allah's face, and how this sahir has any power at all shatters my suspension of disbelief.
