Umaira Ahmad

It is said that a pen has much more power than a sword. Umaira Ahmad, the Pakistani bestselling author has proved it through the power and impact of her magical pen. She has won numerous best writer awards from some of the most prestigious media houses and organizations in Pakistan. She is best known for her novel Pir e Kamil which she dedicated to Muhammad (P.B.U.H). She is most known for her unorthodox approach towards some very sensitive issues in Pakistani society that deal with both the religion and culture of the country.

Umera Ahmed was born on December 10, 1976 in Gujranwala, Pakistan. She completed her master’s degree in English Literature from Murray College, Sialkot, the same college that produced one of the most celebrated and gifted scholars and poets of 21st century, Allama Muhammad Iqbal. Umera Ahmed started writing from a very early age, while still at college. She started with the aim of improving her handwriting and ended up in the improvement of the lives of many people.

Her first novel, Zindagi Gulzar ha, has been aired as a drama serial as well.  Umera Ahmed enjoys a closely guarded private life and seldom gives interviews. Her only appearance onscreen was on the stage of Indus Vision awards to collect her first Best Writer Award in 2005. Despite being active on social media, and involved in showbiz, she leads a private life. Umera Ahmed feels quite strongly about children literacy in Pakistan and her concerns over the fact that younger children in Pakistan are rapidly losing interest in reading as a hobby; she has launched UA Books, a content development publishing house which works towards reviving the love of books among children once again. The publishing house also offers self-publishing and online bookstore facilities.
