Muḥammad Bin ʿAbd al-Kabīr al-Kattani (Arabic: محمد بن عبد الكبير الكتاني; 1873 – May 4, 1909), also known by his kunya Abū l-Fayḍ (أبو الفيض) or simply as Muhammad al-Kattani, was a Moroccan Sufi faqih (scholar of Islamic law), reformer, and poet from Fes. He is recognized as the father of the Moroccan constitution movement and the leader of the Conditioned Bay'ah of 1908. He was also vocally opposed to the metastasizing French colonial presence in Morocco, and launched at-Tā'ūn (الطاعون The Plague), the first national newspaper in Morocco. He was a member of the al-Kattani family and the Tariqa Kattania (الطريقة الكتانية), a Sufi order. He composed over 300 works, printed 27 of them, and wrote Sufi philosophical love poetry. He was accused of treason and flogged to death under Sultan Abdelhafid. His younger brother, Abdelhay al-Kattani (1884-1962) was politically his complete opposite and became a champion and principal advocate of France's colonial policies.
