Naat al-Sharif is a general term used for poems praising Prophet (SAW). Eulogies, the pioneering examples of this genre, were written in Madina al-Munawwara while the Prophet (SAW) was still alive. Poets from among the companions of the Prophet (SAW) such as Hassân b. Sâbit, Kâ‘b b. Mâlik, Kâ‘b b. Zühayr and Abdullah b. Revâha excelled with the eulogies they wrote for the Prophet (SAW). Thousands of Naat al-Sharif were written across the Muslim world reaching from the Indian Subcontinent to the Balkans to praise the Prophet (SAW). Naat is an effective and lyric poem in which the poet directly addresses and prays for the Prophet (SAW). Writing and reciting Naat al-Sharif for the Prophet (SAW) became a strong tradition in the first century of Islam and continued uninterrupted until today.
