 In a world where superhero stories are dominated by massive entertainment corporations, BURAAQ stands apart as a passion project fueled by the unwavering dedication of just two brothers. This is not the work of a large animation studio, but the self-funded effort of two individuals who believe in making a difference. BURAAQ is the vision of Adil Imtiaz, an artist, director, voice actor, and creative force who, alongside his brother, has spent over a decade challenging the status quo with nothing but raw talent, faith, and an unshakable commitment to positive representation.
A Journey Born from Passion Adil Imtiaz grew up in Karachi, Pakistan, with a love for comics that would shape his future. Without formal training or expensive resources, he picked up comic books, studied the artistry, and taught himself how to bring characters to life. Even as a child, he was drawing, sketching, and creating his own superheroes—heroes that looked like him, shared his values, and stood for something greater. In high school, Adil created an entire comic book series called "Red Cross" using nothing but school notebooks and a pencil. Inspired by the charitable organization, he managed to produce 22 issues, each filling a notebook. Kids in his neighborhood eagerly awaited each new issue, passing them around and anticipating the next installment. This early passion for storytelling was just the beginning of his journey. Fast forward to today, and Adil has worn multiple hats to bring BURAAQ to the world. He is the creator, artist, director, voice actor, and creative director of the entire series. He single-handedly illustrates the BURAAQ comic books, animates the series, and even taught himself Blender to refine his 3D animation skills. His commitment to mastering new tools and techniques is a testament to his relentless drive. The Mission Behind BURAAQ The reason Adil created BURAAQ was to counter the negative stereotypes of Muslims in mainstream media and the hidden agendas that threaten Islamic principles. Around the world, an alarming trend is pushing narratives that are dangerous to the values of faith, and even Muslim countries are not immune. There needs to be a counter-narrative, and that’s why Adil looked at his God-given talent and decided to do something about it. Both brothers knew from the start that this journey would be difficult. Not everyone would support them, and there would be forces trying to shut them down. But they had conviction and a duty as Muslims to use their talents to defend their faith and counter this troubling trend. BURAAQ is not just entertainment—it is a movement to uphold truth and integrity in storytelling. The Struggles of Independent Creation The journey has not been easy. Over the past ten years, Adil and his brother have encountered countless obstacles—financial constraints, limited resources, and the ever-present challenge of going against mainstream media narratives. Every aspect of BURAAQ is self-funded, created in spare hours, late nights, and weekends. Unlike major studios with teams of animators, writers, and marketers, BURAAQ is built from the ground up by two brothers who believe in their mission. Every animation frame, every page of the comic, and every script is the result of their blood, sweat, and tears. Why BURAAQ Matters BURAAQ is more than just a superhero; he is a symbol of strength, faith, and justice in an entertainment industry that often misrepresents or marginalizes Muslim characters. Adil and his brother know they are swimming against the current, challenging an industry that prioritizes profit over principles. But that’s exactly why they persist. Because the world needs a hero like BURAAQ, and Muslim youth deserve a character who truly represents them. The Road Ahead The delays in releases are not due to a lack of commitment but rather the reality of independent creation. When you’re building something from the ground up, without corporate funding or studio backing, progress takes time. But with each new comic, animation, and project, the dream continues to grow. And with the support of a passionate audience, BURAAQ will continue to break barriers. Join the Movement This is where you come in. Imagine what Adil has achieved on his own—now imagine what he could accomplish with your support. BURAAQ isn’t just a superhero; it’s a movement to revive the Islamic spirit and take control of our narrative. Comic books and animated series are just the beginning. The vision is to build a BURAAQ Universe, one that rivals Marvel and DC, filled with diverse and powerful characters who represent true heroism. But we can’t do it alone. We need you to:
