Naat Khawani is a source of devotional catharsis and the most popular forms of poetry among Muslims; Beloved Prophet himself another form of poetry, but by love for poetry “Naat” has became the most preferred among Muslims.
Many famous poets in the early days of Islam wrote Naat Sharif. Naats is sung with great joy and love for the Prophet. It is considered as an art. Only recently its being emerged as a kind orthodox enough activity, it is a peaceful affair, and people love to participate and organize NAAT Khuwanis.

It is difficult to put together history chapters of NAAT Khawani because no one confirmed record when got started to find. Although a regularized work has began by companion of Muhammad Hassan ibn Thabit. He was is also known as Shair-ee-Darbaar Risalat.

They should be true and practical Muslims, i.e. not that talking about love for the Holy Prophet (sallallahoalyhaywaalliwssalam). And murdering the sunnah of the Holy Prophet (sallallahoalyhaywaalliwssalam) by shaving off the beard and not showing regularity in daily prayers.
Undoubtedly success lies within the fact that we must walk on the path guided to us by Allah Rabb-Ul Aalameen and the Holy Prophet (sallallahoalyhaywaalliwssalam), leave the way of strangers and always believe in death. Acquire adequate knowledge of Islam and recite at least one Ruku of the Holy Quran with translation.
