The Role of Magazines and Journals in Recognition of Naat in Pakistan

Abstract

There is always an angle and expression of poetic harmony in Seerate-
Rasool, in which the poets express their affection for the holy
Prophet (PBUH). Every poet has embellished his work with such
heartfelt affection for the holy Prophet (PBUH) in this field. Apart
from the religious aspect of Naat, the poets also presented its literary
aspects. As the series progressed, several Pakistani literary magazines
and journals published "Naat Numbers". Thus, the foundation of Naat
knowledge was laid in Urdu literature of Pakistani magazines and
journals. With the promotion of Urdu literature, Naat literature also
gained importance and took the form of a separate genre of speech.
This article critiques book series published from various Pakistani
institutions, magazines and journals since 1947, monthly and
quarterly, half-yearly or yearly.
