He was born in Aswan, a city in upper Egypt. He wrote more than 100 books about philosophy, religions, greats of humanity, and poetry. He founded a poetry school with Ibrahim Al-Mazny and Abd Al-Rahman Shokry called Al-Diwan. He died in 1964 in Cairo. His most famous works were al-'Abkariat, God, and Sarah. Many of his books were translated into English. Akkad was known for his use of flowery and complicated prose.
