Methodology

1. Source-First Approach

Every piece of content on this site is derived directly from classical Sunni works of Seerah and history. We do not publish paraphrased summaries, opinion pieces, or AI-generated content. Each event entry traces back to specific volumes, pages, and sections from authenticated published editions of primary sources.

2. No AI-Generated Islamic Content

While this website is built with modern web technology, the Islamic content itself — the events, descriptions, and historical details — is taken from established scholarly works. We believe that the biography of the Prophet (peace be upon him) must be transmitted through authentic chains of knowledge, not generated by artificial intelligence.

3. Primary Sources

Our primary sources are the classical works of Seerah accepted by Sunni scholarship, including:

• Ibn Hisham — As-Sirah an-Nabawiyyah (d. 218 AH)
• Ibn Sa'd — Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kubra (d. 230 AH)
• At-Tabari — Tarikh ar-Rusul wal-Muluk (d. 310 AH)
• Ibn Kathir — Al-Bidayah wan-Nihayah (d. 774 AH)
• Al-Waqidi — Kitab al-Maghazi (d. 207 AH)
• Ibn al-Qayyim — Zad al-Ma'ad (d. 751 AH)
• Qadi Iyad — Ash-Shifa (d. 544 AH)
• Al-Mubarakpuri — Ar-Raheeq al-Makhtum (d. 1427 AH)

4. Referencing Standard

Each event includes:

• The source work(s) from which the information is drawn
• Volume and page numbers from standard published editions
• Section references where page numbers are not applicable
• Links to freely accessible digital editions for verification

5. Scope & Limitations

This site is:

• A reference for the Seerah (Prophetic biography), not a fatwa resource
• Focused on historical events, not jurisprudential rulings
• Based on Sunni scholarship — it does not represent other Islamic traditions
• An ongoing project — more events and sources will be added over time

6. Corrections & Contributions
