A Manqabat is a Sufi devotional poem, in praise of the first Imam and Commander of the Faithful, Ali ibn Abi Talib, the son-in-law of the prophet Muhammad, or of any Sufi saint.
In the Qadri Sufi order, a manqabat is normally recited without music, since music is considered to be forbidden according to the Quran and Hadith.
In qawwali, manqabats are sung to music. The most well known of the qawwali manqabats is "Man Kunto Maula", written by Amir Khusrau in praise of Ali. This manqabat has been performed by many famous singers and Qawwals including Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Sabri Brothers, Aziz Mian, Abida Parveen, Fareed Ayaz and Qawwal Bahauddin.
