About this project
About this site and its sources
This site faithfully reproduces a traditional Arabic biographical chart of the Prophet Mohammad, translated for a general audience in twelve languages. It aims to inform newcomers clearly and respectfully, explaining Islamic terms without assuming prior knowledge.
Our purpose
Learn About Mohammad is an educational resource. Its goal is to offer a clear, accurate, and welcoming introduction to the life of the Prophet Mohammad for people of any background — especially those encountering the subject for the first time. We present widely accepted traditional accounts and explain specialized terms in plain language.
A note on respect and accuracy
For readability across many languages, we generally omit the honorifics that Muslims add after the Prophet's name; no disrespect is intended. We have tried to represent the source material faithfully. This is an introduction, not a scholarly work — readers wishing to go deeper are encouraged to consult the sources below and qualified scholars.
Sources
The content reproduces a printed Arabic chart titled “The Concise Table of the Biography of the Best of Mankind.” That chart cites the following works:
- Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum (“The Sealed Nectar”), by Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri — a widely read modern biography.
- The Historical Atlas of the Prophet's Biography, by Sami al-Mughlooth.
- Al-Shajara al-Nabawiyya (“The Prophetic Lineage”), by Ibn al-Mibrad.
Common questions
Who made this site?
It is an independent educational project that reproduces and translates a traditional Arabic biographical chart. It is not affiliated with any government or organization, and it presents commonly accepted traditional accounts for general readers.
How accurate are the dates?
Dates from the earliest period are approximate, as is normal for events of the sixth and seventh centuries. They follow the traditional Islamic biographical sources. Later events, especially after the Hijra, are recorded with greater precision.
Where can I learn more?
A good next step is one of the sources listed above, especially Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum, which is widely available in translation. For deeper study, consult academic histories of early Islam and qualified scholars of the tradition.
