Naʽat
Poetry in praise of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad
Naʽat (Bengali: নাত; Punjabi and Urdu: نعت) is poetry in praise of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad. The practice is popular in South Asia (Bangladesh, Pakistan and India), commonly in Bengali, Punjabi or Urdu. People who recite Naʽat are known as Naʽat Khawan or sanaʽa-khuaʽan. Exclusive "Praise to Allah" and Allah alone is called Hamd, not to be confused with 'Na'at'.[1][2][3]
In Arab countries, lyrics and praises said for Muhammad are called Madih nabawi.
