The invitation
A Seerah told from within the household of prophethood
Journey through the blessed Seerah from a deeply personal perspective, exploring the character of the Prophet ﷺ through the experiences of the women who knew, loved and supported him.
This is not simply a course about the biographies of Muslim women. It is a journey through the Seerah using their experiences as a lens to understand the character of the Prophet ﷺ.
Our central question
“What did they experience in him ﷺ that inspired such extraordinary love, trust, courage and sacrifice?”
