The Hassaan bin Thabit Na‘t Research Center, Minhaj University Lahore, arranged a memorial reference to pay tributes to internationally known Naat khawan Khalid Hasnain Khalid and other Naat reciters. Addressing the ceremony, Deputy Chairman Board of Governors of MUL Dr Hussain Mohi-ud-Din Qadri said that Naat reciters are that segment that follows the practice of the Holy Companions. He said that if there is the blessing of Allah and His Prophet (PBUH) behind the act of reciting Naat, 'manqabat' and Hamd, such Naat reciters will have life-long reputation. He said that those who recite Naat should remember that 'Naatia kalam' and its tune should be in line with the high status, respect and reverence of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), stating that they should beware of being irreverent owing to the competitive urge of being ahead of others and being a follower of so-called popular trends. He said that 'kalam' should be reflective of the pious Seerah of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and it should reflect a dominant sense of love, and respect towards the person of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). He said that the Hassaan bin Thabit Na‘t Research Center will guide the youth in learning the craft of the Naat recitation. He paid rich tributes to Khalid Hasnain Khalid for his amazing contributions to Naat recitation.
