Abstract

This article comprises the analysis of Naseem Hijazi's art of historical novel writing and its technical attributes. He is reckoned among those great historical novelists who have gained the pinnacle, meeting the technical needs of genre, without tempering the historical facts. Hijazi is a conscious historian and deals the art carefully. For a more realistic portrayal, his characters are original and factual, while keeping the elegance and beauty of style and presentation in view. Naseem Hijazi presents a well-arranged plot, characters, scenes and dialogues with a methodical ingenuity. Cogent reason behind his selection of this particular genre of writing is his intimacy with Islamic literature and deep affiliation with Islam and Muslims. Although some critics argue that Hijazi's style of writing is rhetorical and oratory yet it evinces interest in the readers.
