Dr. Shawqi Abu Khalil’s Atlas Seerat un Nabi offers maps, events, battles, and rare historical images detailing the life of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
Prophet’s life with maps, events, battles, tribes, personalities, and historical illustrations
This atlas begins with the ancestry of the Prophet ﷺ from Hazrat Ibrahim ﷺ, followed by his birth, pre-Prophethood events, the revelations, and events post-Prophethood, including the Hijrah, battles, social reforms, and ultimately, his passing. Each phase of his life is complemented by maps that mark relevant locations, cities, and surrounding regions, adding a spatial and geographical perspective that traditional Seerah books often lack.

In addition to textual narration, the atlas includes rare historical photographs, depictions of significant events, and concise notes providing insights and clarifications. These maps and illustrations serve not only to document the historical context but also to make the Seerah accessible to visual learners and researchers alike. The book also references key tribes, personalities, and narrators (Muhaddithin), situating the Prophet’s ﷺ life in a broader social and cultural landscape.
Dr. Shawqi emphasizes that while others may have attempted to map the Seerah before, no one has presented it so comprehensively from beginning to end with such detailed geographical and historical annotations. This work stands as a unique contribution to Islamic scholarship, offering both educational value and spiritual enrichment for readers of all ages.
The atlas is not merely a book but a complete reference for students, scholars, and enthusiasts seeking a thorough understanding of the Prophet’s ﷺ life, battles, journeys, and the social-political environment of his time. Through this work, readers can trace the Prophet’s ﷺ footsteps, understand the historical significance of his campaigns and travels, and appreciate the ethical and moral principles that guided his leadership.
This work represents the fourth installment in Dr. Shawqi Abu Khalil’s series of Islamic atlases, following the Quran Atlas, the Islamic Arab History Atlas, and the Atlas of Islamic Governments. The author prays that Allah Almighty makes this contribution beneficial for all readers, guiding them towards deeper knowledge and understanding of the Seerah and the historical context of Islam.
Atlas Seerat un Nabi is thus both a scholarly resource and a visual journey through the life of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, bridging textual scholarship with cartographical and pictorial documentation. Its depth, authenticity, and visual richness make it an indispensable work for anyone seeking to study the Seerah comprehensively.
