The estimation of Naseem Hijazi in Urdu Literature

Abstract: The article deals with the life and contribution of Naseem Hijazi towards reconstruction of Islamic thought through his historical novels in New Muslim generation. As a novel writer, Naseem

Hijazi is regarded as one of the finest writers of Urdu language especially in the later 20th century. Among his popular

contemporaries were Ibn-e-Safi Saadat Hasan Manto, and

Shafiq-ur-Rehman, all having their particular line of literature.

Naseem Hijazi is known for his potent and romantic description of history. There are only two writers prior to Hijazi who wrote history novels in Urdu: Abdul Haleem Sharar and Sadiq sardhunwi, but Hijazi's writing is most credible in terms of

historical description and accuracy. He exercised extra care to back his study of history by through research and to cite his sources whenever possible. Hijazi creates his powerful expression by blending this study of history with fairytale romanticism. The story usually revolves around characters who were related to, and shown present at the actual historical event

that wishes to focus on. Naseem Hijazi bases most of his work in

01;14 2.**A akUl ** ;14 Z*AlA a,t/L11 axU1 r_ai A:JD • a.-L.11 ;L9- ' • 1 r LL,:a4y

Islamic history. In dealing with this history' he shows both the

rise and fall of the Islamic Empire. This writer seems to have

been inspired a lot by Allama Muhammad Iqbal's poetry. He tries, not very unlike Iqbal, to remind his readers of the lost

glory of the Muslims and in a way inspire them to work with commitment to achieve lost glory in all walks of life. Naseem

Hijazi has immensely influenced his readers both in and out of Pakistan. He has been one of the key sources of Islamist ideologies in Pakistan and worked as a key ideology and valour builder during the Soviet-Afghan War. Many Pakistani educated Youngsters throughout 1950s till today are believed to have been emotionally and ideologically inspired by his writings. He enjoys a very large reader base even after his death.
