Aqil Ghani

MA CREATIVE WRITING, UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM

From Qur’anic allegories to blockbuster movies, stories have shaped civilisation, informing how we think and the values we cherish. Through the art of storytelling, I hope to contribute to a legacy of empowerment by weaving narratives that not only entertain but also challenge, heal, and inspire in a way that honours our British Muslim community.

As a writer for my online blog and an actor in film and theatre, I am committed to the authentic representation of Muslims and Islamic culture. Drawing on my British-Pakistani identity, my stories exhibit a unique blend of Islamic mythology and British folklore with vibrant characters that exude the richness of Muslim experiences.
