Abstract
To defame Islam, the missionaries used the Urdu language as a medium and hired the services of many poets in this language who were paid heavily to write poems. Among these poets, there were many people who converted their religion to Christianity instead of Islam due to the greed of money. These poets were attracting Muslims towards Christianity because of their weak beliefs, Among these poets are Azad, Angelo, Sefir, Salik, Bimar, Khak, Gul Amritsari etc. While Urdu novelists made Christian conspiracies the subject of their novels. Among them are Aslam Rahi, Qamar Ajnalvi, Sadiq Hussain Siddiqui, Naseem Hijazi, Asghar Ali Chaudhry, Almas MA, Al-Tamish, Ahmed Shuja Pasha and Rashid Akhtar Nadvi. Urdu poetry promotes missionary objectives while Urdu novels cover the internal and external intrigues and policies of the missionaries.
