摘要：The arrival of the Muslims in the sub - continent of Indo - Pakistan was a remarkable incident of the History of sub - continent. It influenced almost all departments of the social life of the people. The Muslims had a marvelous contribution in their culture and civilization including architecture , painting and calligraphy, book - illustration, music and even dancing. The Hindus had no interest in history and biography and Muslims had always taken interest in life - history, biographical literatu re and political - history. Therefore they had an excellent contribution in this field also. However their most significant contribution is the bestowal of Urdu language. Although the Muslims came to the sub - continent in three capacities, as traders or busin ess men, as comm and ers and soldiers or conquerors and as Sufis and masha'ikhs who performed the responsibilities of preaching, but the role of the Sufis and mash'iskhs in the evolving and development of Urdu is the most significant. The objective of this p aper is to briefly review their role in this connection.
