As the small fountains are the wellspring of a big river, likewise the indigenous literary histories provide a raw material for the delineation of Islamic and literary history. This thesis is for the contribution of Sahiwal in promulgation of Islam as well as Urdu language and literature, in which not only the historic and geographic background of Sahiwal is presented in an unabridged way but also the progression for Urdu literature in this territory from Mystics to the contemporary times. An elaborative analysis of famed literary artists is carried out
