The author has appraised, evaluated, and assessed articles on Hamd-o-Naat with a purely literary perspective. Just like other poetic genres, this book reviews and discusses Hamd-o-Naat along the same lines. More or less every Urdu poet has composed at least a few couplets in praise of Allah and the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Hamd-o-Naat is both poetic genres that praise Allah and the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) correspondingly. The tradition of Naat in Persian, according to the author of the book, has had a profound effect on Urdu Naat.

Naat is one of the most challenging poems to write. In order to write a Naat, a poet should be exceedingly well informed. Later, Urdu acquired Naat from Persian.Īny poet who writes a Naat has to channelize his entire soul to complete the mission. The Persian language borrowed it from Arabic. The Arabic language first created the genre of Naat. A very large number of poets are now writing Naat. After 1947, a new epoch of Naat in Urdu poetry began, particularly in our country. The history of Urdu Naat poetry is as old as Urdu poetry itself however, it was not until the first half of the 19th century that Naat in Urdu poetry became a distinct poetical genre all by itself. However, they should make sure that the verses they write in Naat have literary standards. According to the author, the poets who compose Naat try to express their love and admiration for the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him). Hamd-o-Naat are two rich genres of poetry in which a poet praises Allah Almighty and Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) respectively.
