The poetic tradition of praising the Prophet Muhammadﷺ has been a central element of Arabic literary and religious culture, extending from pre-Islamic times to the present day. This tradition has significantly influenced literary expressions, with poets throughout history highlighting various aspects of the Prophet's life and virtues. Faisalabad, in particular, boasts a notable heritage of poets dedicated to this tradition, including Muhammad Tahir Siddiqui, who is renowned for his contributions to Urdu naat poetry. Siddiqui's work encompasses a range of devotional themes related to the Prophetﷺ and Islamic faith. His notable collections, such as "Beiyaz-e-Naat," showcase a synthesis of traditional poetic forms and spiritual content. His poetry reflects deep reverence and love for the Prophetﷺ, often aligning with Quranic teachings and Hadith. Siddiqui's compositions vividly portray miraculous events in the Prophet’s life, including the splitting of the moon and the Night Journey (Isra and Mi'raj), capturing these events with lyrical elegance. Siddiqui's engagement with these themes underscores his prominence in modern devotional literature, illustrating his significant role in continuing the legacy of praising the Prophetﷺ through poetry.
