Seerah Timeline

A timeline of the biography of the prophet Muhammed ﷺ (PBUH).

Motivation

The biography of the prophet Muhammed ﷺ (PBUH) is very well documented in books but little can be found online to quickly and easily learn. Through this initiative, we hope to provide, to Muslims and non-Muslims alike, a look at the life of the prophet Muhammed ﷺ (PBUH) through a simple to use interface.

Sources

The main (at least for the start) source for this project will be the book The Sealed Nectar ( الرحيق المختوم ). It has been chosen for it's simplicity and availability in different languages.

Contributing

As an open-source project, all contributions are welcome.
