The Early Years

BEFORE THE DAWN

Arabia before the Prophet’s ﷺ birth was marked by idol worship, tribal rivalry, superstition and injustice, yet its people also possessed courage, eloquence and hospitality. Allah protected the Ka‘bah when Abraha’s army advanced during the Year of the Elephant. In that same year, Muhammad ﷺ was born into the family of Abdul Muttalib, bringing the first light of a new era.

The Call Begins

THE CALL BEGINS

In the Cave of Hira, Jibril brought the first words of revelation, and Muhammad ﷺ returned home shaken by the weight of what had begun. Khadijah reassured him, while Waraqah ibn Nawfal recognised the signs of prophethood and warned that opposition would come. Revelation then called him to rise, warn and begin carrying Allah’s message to those closest to him.

Understanding the journey

What is the Seerah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ?

Seerah is the study of the life and mission of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It places the events of his life in sequence so readers can understand the setting of Makkah, the beginning of revelation, the trials faced by the first Muslims, the Hijrah to Madinah and the later years of the mission.

This free visual Seerah library divides that chronological biography into 29 readable parts. Each story uses landscapes, architecture, objects and symbolic environments while never visually depicting Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
