Early life and education edit

Muhammad Ismail Katki was born on 6 January 1914, in Rasoolpur, Sungra, Bihar and Orissa Province (now Odisha).[3][4] It is stated that he and Ataullah Shah Bukhari have the same maternal village.[5]

Katki received his primary education from his paternal aunt, Seyyida Khatoon.[4][6] He began studying the dars-e-nizami curricula at Madrasa Islamia, Sungra, where he received instructions on courses up to Hidayat an-Nahw (Arabic: هداية النحو) under Muhammad Umar Katki.[7] He pursued his further studies at Madrasa Shahi in Moradabad, where his teachers included Muhammad Miyan Deobandi, Ismail Sambhali, Abdul Haq Madani, and Qudratullah Qudrat.[6][7] He was admitted to Darul Uloom Deoband, where he completed his studies in 1934.[6][8][9][10] At the Deoband seminary, his teachers included Asghar Hussain Deobandi, Hussain Ahmad Madani, Izaz Ali Amrohi, Muhammad Shafi Deobandi, and Muhammad Tayyib Qasmi.[6][8]

During his studies, he took an interest in religious debates and learned their principles from Murtaza Hasan Chandpuri.[6][8][11]

At the age of fifteen, he debated Qadianis for the first time in Pindi Bahauddin, Punjab, under the supervision of Sanaullah Amritsari.[12]

He learned Tajwid and Qira'at in the Hafs 'an Asim tradition from Abdul Wahid Deobandi at Darul Uloom Deoband and Muhammad Abdullah at Madrasa Shahi in Moradabad.[13]

Career edit

After graduating from Deoband Seminary, Katki was first appointed as a second maulvi and a Persian and Urdu teacher at Ravenshaw Collegiate School in Cuttack.[14][15] After that, he worked as a teacher at Govt.Boys High School, Jeypore, in the Koraput district of Odisha,[14][3] until 1947.[11][4][3]

On the order of Hussain Ahmad Madani, he became a preacher in 1946 by joining the Anjuman Tabligh e Islam, which was founded in 1945 in Sungra, Odisha.[14][11] In 1946, Anjuman Tabligh e Islam established Madrasa Arabia Islamia (now Jamia Islamia Markazul Uloom) in Tabligh Nagar, Sungra, and he was appointed as its first principal, then rector.[11][16][14]

He significantly contributed to the Khatm-e-Nubuwwat movement.[17] From the time of his graduation until the 1990s, he participated in over ninety debates,[8] among which the debates on the rejection of Qadianism include the Bhadrak debate of 1958, the Yadgir debate of 1963,[18] and the Kothagudem debate of 1988. Also, the 1979 Barabati Stadium debate on the rejection of Barelvism is worth mentioning.[11]

He helped around 8,000 people revert from Qadianism to Sunni Islam[8][12][10] and contributed to the movement through his lectures and sermons.[19][20][21]

In 1992, he was chosen as a member of Darul Uloom Deoband's Majlis-e Shura (advisory committee) and held this position for 14 years until his death in 2005.[24][17] He also served as the President of the Odisha branch of the Rabta-e-Madaris-e-Islamia Arabia, Darul Uloom Deoband.[25]
