'''Mohammad Alvi''' (10 April 1927 {{endash}} 29 January 2018; sometimes spelled '''Mohammed Alvi''') was an Indian poet known for writing Urdu [[gazal]]s, particularly a collection of Urdu gazals titled ''Chautha Aasmaan'' (4th sky) which became a subject of dispute between the Muslims scholars when he wrote a couplet titled "send a good prophet". He was later referred to as a "[[kafir]]" through a [[fatwa]] by the [[Imam]] of [[Jama Masjid, Delhi|Jama Masjid]] in 1994, and he subsequently withdrew the line from his book after he was criticised by the [[Schools of Islamic theology|Islamic theology school]], [[Ahmedabad]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/indiascope/story/19950531-islamic-theological-school-passes-fatwa-on-sahitya-akademi-award-winning-poet-mohammed-alvi-807362-1995-05-31|title=Islamic theological school passes fatwa on Sahitya Akademi Award-winning poet Mohammed Alvi|first1=UDAY MAHURKAR|last1=May 31|first2=1995 ISSUE DATE|last2=May 31|first3=1995UPDATED|last3=June 21|first4=2013 16:19|last4=Ist|website=India Today}}</ref>
