Abstract

The tradition of composing glorifying verses on the Holy Prophet (PBUH) has been very rich from the very time of his Holiness (PBUH). Following the Arabic tradition of Naat, poets of almost all important languages spoken by the Muslim have been writing Naat. Urdu language being no exception, is very fertile as regard to Naat writing. Abdul Aziz Khalid after the pioneers of Naat in Urdu-Ameer Minai, Muhsin Kakorvi and Haali-is considered one of the remarkable Naat writer. Khalid is well versed in many languages like Arabic, Persian, Hindi, Sanskrit and Urdu. He aptly employs his multilingual knowledge while composing Naat. He has six anthologies of Naat to his credit. This article studies Khalid's literary contribution particularly his Naat.
