Urdu Hamd and Naat in the Context of Arabic Poetic Tradition: A Study and Analysis

Abstract

This paper presents a critical and analytical study of the influence of Arabic poetic tradition on Urdu Hamd and Naat. It examines the linguistic, cultural, and literary interactions between Arabic and Urdu, tracing how Quranic diction, prophetic praise, and classical motifs shaped the thematic and stylistic framework of Urdu devotional poetry. The research highlights the continuity of Hamd and Naat from the early Islamic period to the modern era, analyzing classical Arabic models, such as the works of Hassan ibn Thabit and Imam al-Busiri, alongside Urdu poets like Ahmad Raza Khan, Mohsin Kakorvi, and Allama Iqbal. The study demonstrates that while Urdu Hamd and Naat inherited their spiritual and structural foundations from Arabic literary heritage, they also evolved into an independent poetic form by incorporating indigenous cultural sensibilities and linguistic creativity. The findings emphasize the shared spiritual ethos of Islamic literature across languages, underscoring Urdu Hamd and Naat as both a continuation and an enrichment of the Arabic poetic tradition.
