Aqeel Abbas is a pioneering Urdu microfiction writer and poet from Pakistan. He is the author of the first-ever Urdu microfiction collection titled "Dulhan aur Dosray Microfiction," which explores themes of mythology, psychology, gender dynamics, and existential questions through compact, thought-provoking narratives.
In addition to fiction, he is also known for his poetry collection "Barqaab," celebrated for its modern metaphors, spiritual introspection, and aesthetic subtlety. His work often blurs the boundaries between literature and philosophy, tradition and innovation.
Critics and academics praise Aqeel Abbas for introducing a new literary sensibility in Urdu microfiction — one that focuses more on the depth of thought than on event-driven plots. His writings have been included in academic discussions, literary forums, and critical essays.
When he's not writing, Aqeel Abbas is actively involved in literary discourse, curriculum development, and the promotion of minimalist storytelling in South Asian literature.
