For those who think it's extremely important to teach every reader the somewhat arcane distinction between a patronym and a patronymic surname, a section called "Name" could be added , and the statement can be moved to there. If it's not so important that it needs its own section, how about putting it somewhere other than even before the article begins? It would make more sense to be featured in the Personal Life section, although some might think it isn't even important enough to be moved there.

If it's not so important that it needs its own section, how about at least putting it somewhere other than before the article begins?

Surely, though, it isn't a more important element of this article than Bapak Amir himself! So I would suggest moving it away from the top of the article.
