In this groundbreaking research, Lt. Col. Abdulaziz (Binimad) Al-Ateeqi unveils Makkah at c. 600 AD in greater detail than ever before. Relying on the oldest existing texts from authentic sources and relevant maps to resurrect the layout and geography of Makkah as it was during the lifetime of Prophet Muḥammad (PBUH) (570–632 AD), the book’s many exclusive maps and images provide a visual representation of the Holy City that remained seemingly impossible prior to this work. Adding new layers of insight to existing scholarship with many unique discoveries of his own, the author first highlights little-known references to Makkah in the Bible, the Qurʾān, and other ancient sources before taking readers on a brief journey from the earliest of times up until the time period depicted in this captivating, in-depth look at the city of the Prophet’s birth. With special sections dedicated to the history of Makkah’s clans and important landmarks like the Kaʿbah, Maqām Ibrāhīm, and the Prophet’s homes, the book’s 26 images also include original, full-color maps of Makkah’s mountains, valleys, homes, wells, pathways, and marketplaces, along with detailed descriptions of each landmark and numerous insights into the history, politics, and personalities of Makkah during a crucial period, making this volume an essential companion to anyone with an interest in the Prophet’s biography and the history of Islam.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...to the best of my knowledge, such a detailed and amazing work has never been written before in any language.... It was a pure pleasure to peruse this book, for I benefited immensely from it despite having read almost all classical works on the sīrah."
Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi, Dean of Academic Affairs, The Islamic Seminary of America

"I found myself amazed with every turn of the page at how much research was put into every given topic.... I urge everyone to take a look at this book, as this will result in a much better understanding of Makkah and its surrounding areas at the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)."
Shaykh Irfan Soni, teacher and member of The New Syllabus Team (Islamia Series), Madrasah Islamiya (UK)

"A thorough historical study of Makkah, containing rich and numerous primary sources written about Islam's geographical center point."
Classical Historian, Shaykhah Walah Al-Sabah

"I found myself delighted by this magnificent volume, which contains an abundance of invaluable information and details that can't easily be found anywhere else.... This book, Allah willing, will be of great benefit to people from all walks of life, including students of knowledge and those with an interest in history."

Shaykh Mohammad Ali Al-Naqwi, English-language Khaṭīb (Lecturer), Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs (Kuwait)

A picture's worth a thousand words. A must-own for every muslim household or history buffs.
This work elevates the study of the seerah to an entirely new level and clarifies ambiguous references. This is one of the few examples of using modern technologies and tools for studying and teaching Islamic history. Very much a step in the right direction. Beautiful and detailed maps showing locations of households (in many cases exact) of the companions and other key landmarks and geographic features help better understand the events we read about in books of history. I really liked the map of tribal zones in particular (see images). A painstaking amount of research and puzzle-solving relying on all available references went into compiling these maps. Reading the seerah has never been so immersive and enjoyable as with this book and its maps as a reference. We need more works like this and I look forward to seeing this project grow insha' Allah.

5.0 out of 5 stars An incredible account of historic Mecca based on evidence and records

This book is a gigantic complement if you, like me, want to dive into the Seerah of the Prophet Salallahu 'Alayhi Wassalam and truly understand the great scenes written in the Seerah. Now one can know exactly where the Prophet Salallahu 'Alayhi Wassalam called his people from when preaching Islam in public, and the types of routes travelers would take when journeying for trade (from Mecca). The author does an astounding job at providing details about the Mecca that our Prophet Salallahu 'Alayhi Wassalam knew and his companions lived in. A must read!

I have read and listen too many stories of my prophet Mohammad (piece be upon him) this book gave me the visual perspective of the geographical area of Makkah (Mecca) during the times of Prophet Mohammad (Piece be upon him).

The book is very detailed with references and maps, I thank the author for putting together such an amazing book I am amazed how much research was put into this.

A fascinating book that invites you to a life-changing journey. A journey that takes you through the streets, valleys, and alleys of Makkah and its markets in the time of the Holy Prophet. I really enjoyed reading the book and learnt a great deal especially about the genealogies and lineages of the Holy Prophet and his many aunts and uncles. I wish, however, the author has attempted to provide a contemporenous settings for most of the places mentioned in the book. For instance, he mentioned the modern Hyatt Regency Hotel as sitting on Mount Umar in Makkah today; it would have been more enlightening if he had shared with us what happened to other important landmarks such as the Mount Abu-Qubaiys in contemporary period. Still a beautiful book worth reading.

This is a dream for all Muslim history lovers. The author has done meticulous and painstaking research, the maps are brilliantly drawn and the thoroughness of the text is as academic as it gets.

I have read dozens of books on the history of Makkah and Madinah and was still surprised by the new information unearthed here.

This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. Clearly a lot of hard work and research has gone into this.

The book gives a great insight into life in Makkah in 600AD and helps one understand the geography of where important events took place. It helps contextualize much of the seerah in Makkah.
