Mohammad Alvi (10 April 1927 – 29 January 2018; sometimes spelled Mohammed Alvi) was an Indian poet known for writing Urdu gazals, 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 in 1994, and he subsequently withdrew the line from his book after he was criticised by the Islamic theology school, Ahmedabad.
