Nimra Ahmed is one of the known names in Pakistan. She is a novelist who has a unique way of storytelling. Her novels usually have the most interesting plot twists. She is one of the most appreciated novelists of the modern era. She focuses on details and morals. Most of her characters are morally grey. She says, “ Morally white and morally black characters are not relatable for readers but ethically grey characters are relatable enough to learn from them.” She is a really good writer for today’s generation. She is an unpredictable writer, she can write anything on the next line which can turn the whole storyline. She also takes care of the standards of the readers, different people think in different ways and imagine in different ways and she takes care of this by not allowing to make dramas or series based on her novels, she thinks that the actors can’t act like the characters and the drama or series will not proceed expectations.

Here are her few famous and outstanding novels:

Jannat kay pattay (Leaves of Heaven): This novel blends romance, spirituality, suspense, and self-discovery. Haya Suleman is the female lead who is studying in Turkey under a scholarship, Haya embraces a journey of faith and self-discovery. The male lead is Jihan Sikander who is an intelligence officer. His role is thrilling because he is three different persons at the same time to complete his undercover missions. It is such a big plot twist when it reveals the three persons he was. This novel has a strong story with strong leads.

Haalim: This novel is full of thrill and mystery. It is based on time-traveling. This novel represents the effects of every small decision on the future and highlights different possibilities. The main characters are also from the past which time-traveled into the future. The female lead is behind to find her true identity as she forgot everything when she came into the future. The male lead is a famous political figure and the female lead had a crush on him. The female lead is a scammer. It becomes more interesting as the story is revealed over time. The characters also live in different future possibilities. It is a masterpiece.

Maala: This novel is full of mystery and thrill. It is mainly based on black magic. Its story highlights different types of black magic and its effects on magicians and people. The female lead also becomes one of the victims of black magic. Her psycho lover married her after possessing her with black magic. The male lead is a successful architect. The story starts getting more interesting with time. This novel is still completing. Nimra Ahmed uploaded it on her app and the story is really interesting not just around magic but also with the strong character of maala. The power of love, the bond between child and mother, and the ways of the universe.

Namal: This novel is one of the most critically acclaimed works by Nimra Ahmed. This novel highlights the familial bonds, justice, and morality. This novel is full of mystery and revenge. The male lead is an intelligence officer hiding it from everyone including his close ones. The female lead is a criminal lawyer. Hashim Kardar is one of the villains in Namal. He is the most-liked villain by readers in Urdu novels. He is a corporate lawyer, he is highly successful and manipulates the system for personal gain by using his legal expertise. But he is a really strong character which shows the inner guilt of a person and the curse to hold the seat. This novel mostly contains morally grey characters to which readers can relate and take lessons from. This novel is one of the masterpieces by Nimra Ahmed. This novel is also famous because of the complicated personalities of its characters. It is also best for the students of the Quran and the students of Islamic knowledge related to Justice. My favorite character is Sadi Yousuf but every other character has its own story, Morals, and Goals which is the best part.

Mushaf: Mushaf means the Quran. This novel is based on religious and moral teachings. The main lead of this novel Mehmal Ibrahim encounters a manuscript called Mushaf. This novel focuses on spirituality and the transformative power of the Quran. It shows how a person personally grows and gains faith and redemption. It’s also about friendship, the rights of orphans, and the power of belief. It also shows that some people can lead you to the right path and at the same time they can also be distracted. This novel is a gem for those who want to grow spiritually. One of the famous lines of Mushaf:

(Those who hold onto the Qur’an, Allah never lets go of their hands.)

Nimra Ahmed is a legendary author. She deserves recognition globally. Her novels are good for general information, character development, personal growth, self-discovery, moral lessons, decision-making, and awareness of repercussions. She deserves global recognition. I praise her way of linking her novels to one another. Mahir Fareed and Birbal one of the leading characters in Maala are the positive versions of Hashim Kardar and Nosherwan Kardar who are the villains in Namal. And Jihan Sikander from Jannat kay pattay appeared in Haalim. She is one of the best writers of the era. Her way of writing, and linking the character is seriously appreciable.

This world needs more writers like Nimra Ahmed. I am looking forward to reading more masterpieces from Nimra Ahmed. Her writing style is unique and unreplaceable. Her novels highlight the possibilities and phases of life. The imperfectly perfect characters in her novels help people to relate and learn from their mistakes. The conclusions and morals of her novels define her writing abilities. The bends of topics, critical, confusing, and complicated characters, and parts of novels also define her writing abilities. She deserves more recognition. She highlights women’s empowerment in her every novel by making the female protagonists independent and strong. Because women are the base of society if they are powerful and capable they will lead the society to a better future and towards high values and if the base is weak it will cause destruction even with minimal inconvenience. As it is said that a man makes the money for their children but a woman makes their life.

She also highlights the Quranic explanation in most of her novels like Namal highlights Surah Namal and the story of Prophet Yousaf (Joseph in the Bible) and his brothers. She also gives sessions on Quranic explanations. She teaches people that she learns from her life in the best way through her novels. Not her single novel is based on a love story they carry it as a side part but the topic is not just based on love it gives us teachings and connections to understand the life problems through which we can also relate them. She always writes more than a love story. She writes in a way through which readers can tell the advantages and lessons of reading her novels and this is what makes her unique. Readers can take lessons from every single character in her novels. In short, we need more writers like Nimra Ahmed who tell the reality of the world through their writings and can give true values of life as a Muslim or even as a human. Most people make Quotes from her writings and her words have the power to reach one’s heart.
