Seerah
The Seerah is not a side story.
It is the spine that holds the Qur’an together. AyaSeerah teaches it as a structured course, with every date, person and event grounded in authentic sources.
23 years, six chapters
From the cave of Ḥirāʾ to the Farewell Sermon, the Seerah is divided into clear phases that match the order the Qur’an was revealed.
Places that matter
Each chapter is tied to a location — Makkah, Abyssinia, Ṭāʾif, Madīnah, Ḥudaybiyah — so the geography shapes the story.
People you meet
Khadījah, Abū Bakr, Bilāl, ʿUmar, ʿĀʾishah, Salmān — every major figure appears with their role and their moment.
Qur’an revealed alongside
Each event shows the surah or āyāt that came down in it, so the Qur’an and the Seerah are learned as one connected course.
Key takeaways
Every chapter ends with the lessons a believer carries: trust after loss, patience under pressure, courage when outnumbered.
Three depths, one source
Read a one-line summary, a standard paragraph, or the full narration — all drawn from the same authenticated corpus.
Practice papers and exams
Dates, names and outcomes become review cards, phase exams and a mastery score, just like the āyāt do.
Taught aloud
Press Teach me and the chapter is read aloud in the depth you choose, with the Qur’anic links narrated as they come.
Chapter 01 · 609–611
The Cave of Ḥirāʾ — the first revelation
This chapter covers about two years, from his ﷺ fortieth year to the return of revelation. It begins with one man worshipping alone in a cave and ends with a small group of believers learning in secret. Nothing public has happened yet: what is being built here is certainty.

Chapter 02 · 612–614
Going public — and the persecution
Here the call goes public and Makkah answers. The chapter runs from the announcement on aṣ-Ṣafā through years of mockery, bargaining and torture, the first migration across the sea, and the two conversions that changed the balance in the city.

Chapter 03 · 615–617
The boycott and the Year of Sorrow
This is the chapter of collective punishment and personal loss. Quraysh cut off a whole clan for about three years, and when that failed the Prophet ﷺ lost, in one year, both the wife who believed first and the uncle who shielded him.

The journey to Ṭāʾif and the Night Journey (al-Isrāʾ)
With no protector left, this chapter takes him ﷺ to his lowest human moment at Ṭāʾif and then to the greatest honour given to any human being. It closes with strangers from Yathrib pledging to protect him, which is how a road out of Makkah appears.

The Hijrah — migration to Madinah
The community becomes a society. This chapter carries the Hijrah, the first mosque, the pairing of migrants with helpers, the charter of the city, and then Badr, Uḥud and the Trench — with revelation now legislating for a people, not only consoling a Prophet ﷺ.

Chapter 06 · 628–633
Conquest, completion and farewell
The last five years: a treaty that looked like a defeat, a conquest without revenge, and a farewell. This chapter closes the arc — the religion is completed, the trust is delivered, and the community is left with the Book and the Sunnah.

Every narration is sourced. Qur’an and the two Ṣaḥīḥs come first, then the well-attested seerah literature, with weak or disputed reports marked.
