Brief Introduction of the book:
Musaddas-e-Hali is an important and influential poem of Urdu literature written by Maulana Altaf Hussain Hali in 1879. This poem was written at the behest of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan and presents an effective message about the plight and reform of Muslims in the subcontinent.
In this poem, Hali has narrated the glorious past of the Muslims, their intellectual and cultural rise and then the story of their decline with great pain and truth. He sheds light on the causes of the current decline and draws the Muslims towards modern education, unity and practical reform.
Musadas-e-Hali is not only a literary masterpiece but also a reform document that took Urdu poetry away from mere love subjects and turned it towards social and national issues. Its influence can also be seen significantly on the thought and poetry of later poets, especially Allama Iqbal.
