Hafiz is a writer, poet, and blogger
My name is Hafiz Mukhtar Mahmud, a native of Arewa originally from Bauchi state. I am a Muslim writer and an occasional poet, and really enthusiastic about physics and tech.
It was either through sheer genius or stumbled-upon-luck that I became a freelance writer, for someone whose entire being is obsessed with writing, this work was a great fit. On a side note, my love for Indomie noodles is unrivalled.
I want to welcome you to my personal blog, where I share my thoughts, ideas, and all things Hafiz Mukhtar, also known as Hero. I also run a community of Sunni Muslim writers and poets, join the new ‘community’ by tapping on the Menu. That said, in the name of God I begin.
