Islamic poetry is rich in the praise of prophet Muhammad. Rarely is there any Muslim poet who is without any piece written on him. In fact there is a special class of poetry which is known as Nasheed (Arabic) or Naat (urdu), which is the praise of Prophet. This is mainly inspired from the Islamic traditions (ahadith) that each act of venration would result in 10 times the blessing of God on the praiser, and that a Muslim is not a faithful if he doesn't love the Prophet Muhammad more than himself, his family, and all mankind.
