Afzal Ali (poet)

Afzal Ali () was a medieval Bengali Muslim poet. He was the resident of Milua village at Satkania Upazila in Chittagong District in about the sixteenth century.
Bhangu Fakir was his father. So far, a book titled 'Nasihatnama (নসীহতনামা)' written by the poet and a few verses written in Vaishnava style have been found. The period of writing of the book 'Nasihatnama' is approximately 1662 His book is a notable creation in the literature of Muslim Bengal in the sixteenth century. This is because there is not much of a Bengali text containing the teachings of Islam written at that time. This book contains references to sermons in simple language. He also had a good reputation as a writer. It is to be noted that the author of another book called "Nasihatnama" is Sheikh Paran (1550-1615).
