Here's my theory on who is Mal's father. I think that Mal's father has certain qualities and he passed onto his daughter. 1) natural born leader 2) Street smarts instead of book smarts 3) tasked to steal something that ultimately he doesn't in favor of saving someone else 4) last minute redemption at the end of the movie. Which is why Cassim is the father of Mal. There was an important clue in Isle of the Lost. There was someone there that shouldn't be there, IAGO. The last time we saw him, he was with CASSIM. It is likely that Cassim either escaped the island or was released due to the fact that he wasn't a real villain, but rather an antihero and Aladdin's father. He fits the profile, is human, and is not mentioned in Isle of the Lost. Granted, Disney could not be counting any sequels, so that could be reason.
