Looking to bring the Seerah into the hearts and minds of your family? ﷺ

Deepen Your Connection to the Prophet ﷺ

If you're passionate about Islamic education but struggle to find resources that truly capture the essence of the Seerah, you're not alone. Many yearn for a deeper, more meaningful connection to the life of the Prophet ﷺ.
Do you feel like... you need a more profound connection to the Prophet's legacy (ﷺ)?
Does it seem... there are no simple ways to instill the love of the seerah in your family's hearts and minds, each and every day, without great effort?
Are you frustrated that... the lack of interactive and immersive ways to explore the Seerah.
And when it comes down to it, do you... long for an innovative way to bring the Prophet's life into your daily life?

Basira Education and Why Islam is True
As salaamu alaykum.
My name is Besim.
In 2014, I started working on a Seerah artwork project, the like of which had never been attempted before.
Deeply Rich: About 20x more details than ANY seerah poster ever made … in any language!
Traditional Spirit: Based on traditional Muslim sources and designed with spirit of instilling love of our Beloved Messenger (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallim).
Contextualized: based on Seerah lessons by Western Muslim scholars, uniquely written and designed for today’s English audiences.
The idea, at first, seemed simple enough: create a content-rich seerah artwork in a timeline format. As an experienced designer and typographer, I wanted to use typography as the primary means of bringing different events during the blessed life of our Beloved Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallim) to life.
If done well, I knew there was potential to make the first, deeply-rich Seerah artwork ever.
Up until that point, I’d seen many Seerah artworks in various languages. Without exception, all had limited themselves to 20–60 main events written with small type and small imagery such that you could walk by it a hundred times and wouldn't stop to take a look once.
Instead of serving its purpose of making you stop and reflect on the Seerah, they often became ignored posters, left on some random wall to collect dust.
Previous attempts, as noble as their intentions were, never did full justice to the Seerah by bringing out the various levels of depth that it has to offer.

The entire Seerah in one gorgeous poster.

Dr Shadee Elmasry
It’s a large white canvas with every major event in the Prophet’s ﷺ life described in a newspaper headline with relevant dates, descriptions, and verses beneath each clipping. Besides being beautiful, it’s a great reference to have. There are over 100 events listed here, making it impossible to ever tire from reading from it. You can look at the poster and learn something new for years. I highly, highly recommend.
Dr Shadee Elmasry
Safina Society
Nor did we see any that were designed in a way that made you feel like you were there at the time, experiencing the events unfolding like those around the Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallim) did.
We all felt that our Beloved Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallim) and his Blessed Ummah deserved something more than that.
The challenge presented was to create something using bigger and bolder type and imagery that not only captured 4–5 times the amount of details in an engaging manner but allowed you to see the main events at a greater distance.
It would have to bring you there as if you were experiencing it: the shocks, pains and joys felt from these world-changing events as their news were reverberating first through Mecca, then throughout the Peninsula, then the worlds around them.
I always wanted a seerah artwork that could really capture my interest but had yet to find one, so I set out to design one myself.
This is an excellent, engaging, and thoughtful presentation of the Life of the Messenger of Allah (peace & blessings be upon him) and some of its key lessons. Perfect for anyone or any family seeking to connect to the Prophet (peace be upon him and his beautiful life).

How Quick Can We Design It?

I saw, almost immediately, that many of the weaknesses in other seerah artworks could be resolved with minimum effort if I wanted to simply keep the amount of events to about 100–200 lines of text.
But that didn't feel right. I simply couldn’t bring myself to do it. Not if I wanted it to be a work of excellence, something that the Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallim) had called all Muslims to.
Hassan Shibly
Amazing artwork detailing the life of the prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallim) … It's quite exquisite.
Hassan Shibly, Esq.
Muslim Legal
A quick, commercialized artwork would allow no time for experimenting and serendipitous discoveries. It would not allow years of editing the content with painstaking effort and attention to detail.
It wouldn't allow going through every single line and carefully selecting the best wording, font, sizing and spacing, going through dozens of iterations on every line.
It wouldn't allow me to go through hundreds of Seerah lectures, or time to reflect on the events in the Seerah and draw lessons in our own lives.
So I set off to first tackle how to even begin and design such an artwork …

Speechless!

Shaykh Abdullah Misra
The first time I saw this amazing Seerah artwork, I was speechless. As a teacher and researcher of the prophetic biography, I began to scan and scrutinize the canvas and realized that not only was every major event included, but many vignettes and lesser-known details were woven in without seeming dry. For the first time, I saw art come together with knowledge in a deep way. The work can only be described as magisterial. It should grace the walls of every home, mosque and school, because it breathes the words: “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).”

Brilliant!

Shaykh Nouman Ali Khan
When I saw the seerah artwork, it was an instantaneous decision to place it in a prominent hallway on campus. Visitors including non-Muslims, kids, families, etc. can stop and get a glance and I plan on having regular visitors win prizes and solve riddles by finding events, times and locations using this incredibly creative educational masterpiece! I have a sensitive design aesthetic and am impressed with everything from the typography and typesetting to the color scheme. It’s a brilliant idea to have this piece at home or your institution and to use it creatively to help yourself and especially younger kids map out the story of the Quran and its noble messenger (ﷺ)!

Powerful & Interactive Tool!

Shaykh Jamir Meah
This Seerah artwork propels the concept of ‘Islamic art’ to innovative heights. Bold and modern in aesthetics, it is bound to draw the interest of all ages and religions. However, it’s real appeal lies in its sheer scope and meticulously organized material concerning our beloved Prophet ﷺ, which means it can be utilized in a myriad of ways and settings, and I hope, renders it a powerful and interactive tool for learning about the life and teachings of the greatest human being to have lived on this earth!

I absolutely love this, I have just placed my second order for my 2nd Seerah Canvas for my niece, as a house warming gift for her beautiful family
Nasreen W.
I was amazed when I saw my boys become entranced by it, in particular my 9-year old son. When he saw the seerah artwork he immediately stopped whatever energetic activity he was doing and came over to investigate. For the next twenty minutes or so he was completely silent, totally engulfed by it.
Saifullah B.

This is a beautiful piece of Islamic art work that would make sense in any modern home. The lines are clean, the colors are sophisticated. At first glance, it is striking. One notices it upon entering the room. It draws the visitor in and remains the focal point of conversation. The longer one spends with it, the more one sees, learns, and appreciates.

A Visual Seerah Framework For Children!

Children with the Seerah canvas
The initial idea was to create a mostly-typographic artwork geared towards adults, but something funny happened along the way …
After the project began, I noticed how my young children had reacted quite positively to it. From about the age of 18 months, each of our kids was able to point to some important events, gradually building a visual map of the entire Seerah.
We also added several touching incidents of the Prophet’s (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallim) interactions with kids.
Family studying the Seerah canvas
The Seerah timeline canvas is absolutely stunning in its layout and artistic style. We just completed our study of seerah and this timeline made it easy to follow along and learn the important events. Having this Seerah timeline displayed in the home helps us become consciously aware of RasulAllah ﷺ and his life every time we see it and read it.

But what about older kids?

Older children who can read fluently tend to become immediately captivated by it, often browsing for half an hour or more. The hope is that this will be an artwork that your child can grow with.

Very Powerful

Mufti Hussein Kamani
It's something very beneficial for da'wah purposes: beautiful – visually, but also content-wise, masha'Allah. The artwork is available at the right dimensions for home and I think that's very beautiful too. Our kids at home walk past the walls every day and look at a random picture of a masjid, or a random picture of a flower, or a scenery. But for them to look at this artwork of the life of al-Nabi (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallim) is profound. One day they might look at it and another day they might be standing there to read it. And next thing you know they will get through the life of al-Nabi on their own doing. And that's very powerful. I think this is great!
Mufti Hussein Kamani
Qalam Institute
After spending over 2,000 days on the project we are excited to have launched the artwork! This artwork is the fruit of over 6 years of hard work and I'm glad to be able to offer it to you to share with all your loved ones.
May Allah accept this intention of yours to help increase the love of the Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallim) that you and your family has by purchasing this and sharing it with all around you. Ameen!
I look forward to being of service.
Was salaam,
