Overview
Walk With Muhammadﷺ is an exciting new initiative that offers a fresh platform to engage with the biography (Sīra) of Prophet Muhammadﷺ, highlighting his uplifting humanity and providing opportunities to connect with the Prophetﷺ on a personal level.
Using innovative media and online resources, the project aims to resonate with and inspire people of all beliefs and backgrounds through the universal and spiritual values the Prophetﷺ.
Using language and content that is highly accessible, dynamic, and relevant, the global portal is an important development in meeting the growing demand for information on Islam and the Prophetﷺ.
This contemporary and intimate gateway brings users closer to one of the greatest leaders history has ever known.
Project overview
The project focuses on two complementary strands. The first is on the Prophet’sﷺ life, accentuating five key roles that the Prophetﷺ held, and the second is on the Covenants – important treaties or pledges he made with other faith communities regarding freedom of religion and coexistence.
We invite audiences to Walk With Muhammadﷺ and explore his five key roles as:
- The Changemaker
- The Family Man
- The Perseverer
- The Peacemaker
- The Exemplar
These roles illuminate Prophet Muhammadﷺ as a pioneer, a father, a survivor, a diplomat and a true leader, as understood through historical accounts, actions and sayings of the Prophetﷺ from over fourteen centuries ago.
Each role highlights certain values the Prophetﷺ embodied and encouraged in his community, such as compassion, equality, coexistence, diplomacy, social welfare, care for the environment, women’s empowerment and emotional intelligence.
Five renowned public figures discuss these roles and values in a number of unique videos, providing an insightful overview of the compelling character of Prophet Muhammadﷺ.
