Re: Readin’ Naats and Hamd?
I was about to open a thread on the same topic myself. Some naats do seem a little overstretched. Some are plain funny. I once heard a naat with poetry like kaash mein kabootar hoti tau I would have stayed around the ‘gumbad’ all my life etc etc. At that time it made me laugh but then I said astaghfar cos in all honesty its as confusing as hell. One could take the naats as an indication of the reader’s love for the Prophet :saw: but do the readers of the naats even mean what they say or are they just singing along? I guess u really can;t know. Following his sunnah would be a greater indication of love for him. I guess reading naats is easier.
