The Methodology of Mulla Wahidi's Writing on the Biography of the Prophetﷺ

Abstract

The art of writing Seerah is like a garden, and the writers of Seerah are unique flowers in this garden, distinguished by their distinct colours and fragrance. Similarly, Mulla Wahidi holds a unique identity and a distinctive style among other Seerah writers due to his methodology and approach. His style serves as a model for modern Seerah writing in Urdu. One of the defining features of Mulla Wahidi's style is its alignment with contemporary needs.

Mulla Wahidi's Seerah books have been well-received among Urdu readers because they combine literary charm with the use of metaphors and similes. Additionally, the simplicity and the unique tone of the Delhi dialect give his writings a vibrancy that feels as if emotions have been clothed in words, deeply touching the reader.

These qualities have significantly enhanced the importance of Mulla Wahidi's style. By learning from his methodology and approach, modern Seerah writing in Urdu can be made more impactful and beneficial.
