Play the Full QuizThe Seerah — the biography of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ — is one of the most studied and beloved subjects in Islamic scholarship. From his birth in Makkah around 570 CE to his passing in Madinah in 632 CE, the life of the Prophet ﷺ provides a comprehensive model for how Muslims should live, lead, and worship. Studying the Seerah is not just a historical exercise; it is a means of drawing closer to the one whom Allah sent as a mercy to all of mankind.
Our Seerah quiz questions cover the major events and turning points in the Prophet's life: his early years and upbringing by his grandfather Abdul-Muttalib and uncle Abu Talib, the first revelation in the Cave of Hira, the persecution of early Muslims in Makkah, the migration (Hijrah) to Madinah, the major battles of Badr, Uhud, and the Trench, the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, the conquest of Makkah, and the Farewell Pilgrimage. Questions also cover the companions (Sahabah, may Allah be pleased with them) who played pivotal roles in these events.
Understanding the Seerah equips Muslims with practical wisdom for everyday life. The Prophet ﷺ faced poverty, persecution, loss, leadership challenges, and moments of triumph — and his responses to each situation were guided by divine revelation. By testing your knowledge of these events and the authentic narrations that preserve them, you build a richer, more personal connection with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Every answer in our quiz is backed by hadith references and reputable Seerah sources.
