Places of the Sīra and the graves

Where it happened, and where they rest: Mecca and Medina, the battlefields, the cities the Companions settled and died in, from Abyssinia to Istanbul. Select a place on the map or in the list to see its events and its people.

The map tiles come from OpenStreetMap and need an internet connection; the list below works without it.

    About this map

    Places

    Coordinates are those of the present-day place; for battlefields and small sites they are approximate. The names are given in their usual English form with the Arabic beside them.

    Graves

    A person is placed where the biographers say he or she died or was buried. Where the sources differ, the entry of the person says so; the map shows the more common view.
