Sufis and Saints have played a prominent role in the development of early Urdu prose. They prepared the earliest Urdu texts in booklet form for purposes of preaching. Researchers have not yet reached a consensus on the first prose writing in Urdu. According to Prof. Hamid Hasan Qadri, Syed Ashraf Jahangir Samnan’s Risālah-i Taṣavvuf was the first such book whereas Hakim Shamsullah Qadri regards Sheikh Ainuddin Gunj al-llm as the first prose writer of Urdu. Maulvi Abdul Haq considers Merāj al-ʿᾹshiqī, which is wrongly attributed to Khawaja Banda Nawaz Gesu Daraz as the first Urdu prose writing. A few others have named Shams al-Ushaq as the first writer of ancient Dakkani prose. However, more recent studies indicate Miranji Shams al-Ushaq’s eldest son and Khalifa Shah Burhanuddin Janam Dakkani’s book Kalimat ul-Haqāiq as the first prose writing of the Urdu language.
