Katip Sumat uprising (Vietnamese: Phong trào Hồi Giáo của Katip Sumat) was a revolt in 19th century Southern Vietnam. It was led by Cham Muslim leader Katip Sumat. This is the only ever-recorded jihad war involving Vietnam.[2][3][4][1]

Champa was annexed by Vietnam in 1832. In order to eradicate the Cham identity, Chams were forced to adopt Vietnamese customs. The Vietnamese force fed haram lizard and pig meat to Cham Muslims and cow meat to Cham Hindus against their will. It caused outrage among Chams populations.[5]

In June 1833, Katip Sumat, a Cham Muslim leader who lived in Kelantan, came to Champa, declaring jihad against the Vietnamese. He was defeated within a month, in July 1833, and fled to Cambodia before escaping to Malaya. Local rebels continued fighting until 1834.[6]

Katip Sumat's failure was in part due to the lack of cooperation between Muslims and Hindus Chams, with the later afraid of the Vietnamese Government, deciding to side with the state against the jihad war, which led to a Muslim-Hindu rift between Chams.[7]
