A Study of Quranic Subjects in the Na’at Poetry of Hafeez Taib
حفیظ تائب کی نعتیہ شاعری میں قرآنی موضوعات کا مطالعہ
Abstract
The Holy Quran provides complete guidance to human being. The subjects of the Holy Quran are the universe and the human being. After the migration all the non-Muslim poets started revilement against Hazarat Muhammad ﷺ thus Na’at poets started defending of Prophet through Na`at poetry. But some poets in that time, used to narrate some imaginary things. That’s why Quran also condemned them and on the other hand, Quran appreciates the poets who worshiped Allah it is also said in Quran that Allah and His Angles say Darood-o-Salam on Muhammad ﷺ Hafeez Taib has fulfilled this duty in Na`at while using Quranic subjects. Whatever subject the Holy Quran discusses it uses a unique style in suitable words. The Holy Quran invents a new version for repeated subjects that every word looks like a crystal itself, that’s why Hafeez Taib used Quranic allusions, Quranic rhymes, Quranic similes, and Quranic metaphors and gave vast vision of Na`at subjects. He has also expanded of Na`at in stylistic features in the light of Quran. He has also done new experiment in the form of Na`at poetry by using the Quranic form of Surah-e-Kausar. He has given a great invention in Na`at. Poetry triplet “Kousaria” which is totally different from other triplets. Hafeez Taib has a great study of a Quran that is why we find the real soul of Quran in his Na`at. Just because of the Quranic subjects. We find a great level of knowledge and literature in his Na`at.
