By the way, with regard to Naats, I think that nowadays they are just like a music business, you have "Naat artists" selling "Naat albums" and organizing "Naat concerts"...These naats and nasheeds have just become a drama and a business in my viewpoint.

Secondly, most Naats now contain shirk and innovations (like saying "Ya Rasoolullaah", etc.,) and singing the praises of "Sabz Gumbad" which itself is idolatry.

However, what Islaam allows for is only good and decent poetry, like what Hassaan ibn Thaabit رضى الله عنه used to compose with the help of the Angel Gabriel. This kind of poetry is good, but it must be pure and Islaamic, and not contain any shred of polytheism or innovation or exaggeration.

I will give you an example of a good naat by Ahlul Hadeeth, Haafiz Binyameen Okarwi:
