Muhammad Ismail Katki (Urdu: محمد اسماعیل کٹکی; 1914–20 February 2005) was an Indian Islamic scholar and writer. He was associated with the Khatme Nabuwat movement in India, particularly in the state of Orissa. He served as the first Ameer-e-Shari'at of Imarat-e-Shar'ia Odisha and the third president of Jamiat Ulama Odisha.

Early life and education

Muhammad Ismail Katki was born in 1914 in Rasoolpur, Sungra, Bihar and Orissa Province (now Odisha).[3] It is stated that the maternal village of both he and Ataullah Shah Bukhari is the same.[4]

His paternal aunt "Seyyeda Khatoon" provided him with his early education.[3][5] After that, he received his education up to Hidayat an-Nahw (Arabic: هداية النحو) in Madrasa Islamia, Sungra under Muhammad Umar Katki.[6]

He completed his secondary education at Madrasa Shahi in Moradabad, where his teachers included Muhammad Mian Deobandi, Muhammad Ismail Sambhali, Abdul Haq Madani, and Qudratullah Qudrat.[5][6]

He travelled to Darul Uloom Deoband and was admitted there after studying Sharh al-Wiqāyah (Arabic: شرح الوقاية) in Madrasa Shahi.[5][7] He graduated with his traditional dars-e-nizami degree from Darul Uloom Deoband in 1934.[8][9] His teachers at Darul Uloom Deoband included Hussain Ahmad Madani, Muhammad Ibrahim Balyawi, Muhammad Tayyib Qasmi, Muhammad Rasool Khan Hazarvi, Muhammad Shafi Deobandi, Asghar Hussain Deobandi, Aizaz Ali Amrohi, Nabih Hasan Deobandi, and Abdus Sami' Deobandi.[5][7]

During his studies, he became a successful religious argumentator. Following his graduation from Darul Uloom Deoband, he spent another six months with the great Islamic scholar Murtaza Hasan Chandpuri, learning the principles of religious debate from him.[5][7][10]

He was also a reciter in the Hafs 'an Asim tradition. He learned Tajwid and Qira'at from Abdul Wahid Deobandi at Darul Uloom Deoband and Muhammad Abdullah at Madrasa Shahi Moradabad.[11]

Career

After graduation, Katki was first appointed at Ravenshaw Collegiate School in Cuttack as a second maulvi and a Persian and Urdu teacher.[12][13] Afterward, he served as a teacher in Koraput, Odisha,[12] till 1947.[10][3]

On the initiative of Husain Ahmad Madani, he joined "Anjuman Tabligh e Islam" in 1946, a group that supported the Khatme Nabuwat protection movement in Odisha, and this is when he started to get involved.[12] In 1946, Madrasa Arabiya Islamia (now Jamia Islamia Makarzaul Uloom) was established in Qazihat, Sungra, under the umbrella of Anjuman Tabligh e Islam, and he was appointed the rector.[10][14][12]

His services in the field of the Khatme Nabuwat movement are unforgettable.[15] He first debated Qadianis at the age of fifteen, in Pindi Bahauddin, Punjab, under the supervision of Sanaullah Amritsari.[16] From the time of graduation until the nineties, he gave more than ninety debates,[7] among which the debates on the rejection of Qadianism include the Bhadrak debate of 1958, the Yadgir debate of 1963,[17] and the Kothagudem debate of 1988. Also, the 1979 Barabati Stadium debate on the rejection of Barelvism is worth mentioning.[10]

Due to his efforts, about eight thousand people left Qadianism and accepted Islam,[7][16][9] and the faith of countless Muslims was strengthened by his sermons, speeches, and expressions of truth and falsehood.[18]

Honours and positions

Katki served as Odisha's first Ameer-e-Shari'at for 41 years, from 1964 until his death in 2005.[10][5] Prior to his passing, he was the third president of Jamiat Ulama Odisha[19][1] and held that position over than 40 years.[10] In 1986, he was chosen to serve as the All India Majlis-e-Tahaffuz-e-Khatme Nubuwwat's Vice President.[18][20]

In 1992, he was made a member of the Majlis-e Shura (advisory committee) of Darul Uloom Deoband and held this position for 14 years until his death in 2005.[21][15] He has also been the Provincial President of Odisha under the Rabita-e Madaris-e Islamia Arabia of Darul Uloom Deoband.[22]

He was a supporter of the Indian National Congress and remained associated with it till his late life.[3] He was also active in the Indian independence movement.[3][23] He was also a member of the working committee of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind.[6]
