Karam AllÃÂh Muḥammad KurkusÃÂwë (died 1903) was a DongolÃÂwë Mahdist emir (amër). Born on the island of Kurkus, near Shendi, Karam AllÃÂh worked with slave traders in the Baḥr al-GhazÃÂl in his youth. In 1882 he went to al-UbaiyaḠto enlist with the Mahdists.
In 1884 Muḥammad Aḥmad al-Mahdë sent Karam AllÃÂh back to the Baḥr al-GhazÃÂl as emir and gave him an army. He captured the Egyptian governor, Frank Lupton (Lupton Bey), and the garrison. In 1885, when the RizaiqÃÂt of southern DÃÂr Fà «r rebelled by accepting as refugess some mutinous Mahdists from al-Ubaiyaá¸Â, Karam AllÃÂh and his brother, Muḥammad Shaikh, led a large army against him. When the RizaiqÃÂt chief Madëbbà « Bey ÿAlë refused a summons, his forces were attacked near Shaqqa. They lost the ensuing battle and Madëbbà « fled north. He was eventually captured by Yà «suf IbrÃÂhëm and turned over to Karam AllÃÂh, who sent him on to Omdurman.
In 1896 he was wounded in the Battle of Ferkeh. In 1898, when the Mahdists were defeated, he fled to the court of ÿAlë DënÃÂr, sultan of DÃÂr Fà «r. He was eventually executed at al-FÃÂá¹£har on suspicion of intriguing against the sultan.
