The Seerah: Life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

An overview of the life of the Seal of Prophets, from his birth in Mecca to the Farewell Pilgrimage.

The Orphan of Mecca

Born in 570 CE, Muhammad (PBUH) was known as 'Al-Amin' (The Trustworthy) long before prophethood. He lost his father before birth and his mother at age six, growing up under the care of his grandfather and uncle.

The Call to Prophethood

At age 40, disturbed by the ignorance of society, he retreated to the Cave of Hira. There, Angel Jibreel appeared with the first revelation: "Read!" (Iqra). This marked the beginning of his 23-year mission to call humanity back to One God.

The Migration (Hijrah)

After 13 years of persecution in Mecca, the Muslims migrated to Medina. This event marked the beginning of the Islamic calendar and the establishment of the first Islamic state, based on justice and brotherhood.

The Conquest of Mecca

In 8 AH, the Prophet returned to Mecca not as a conqueror, but as a merciful liberator. He forgave his greatest enemies, destroying the idols in the Kaaba and restoring it to the worship of Allah alone.
