Na'at

Na'at

Na’ats, the stirring poems of praise to the Prophet Muhammad, take many shapes and forms. These eminent na’at khawans and singers—chiefly from Pakistan and India, where the genre thrives—have mastered the art of na’at, delivering sweeping a cappella recitations, percussion-fuelled qawwali odes and hypnotic ghazals. This treasure trove of spiritual poetry is updated monthly by our editors.
