Introducing our multilingual website design and build for 'Walk With Muhammadﷺ' for Qatar National Library مكتبة قطر الوطنية which 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. This contemporary and intimate gateway brings users closer to one of the greatest leaders history has ever known.

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.

Walk With Muhammadﷺ and explore his five key roles as; The Changemaker, The Family Man, The Perseverer, The Peacemaker and The Exemplar.

Five renowned public figures (Dalia Mogahed, Dr Afifi al-Akiti, Dr Omar Suleiman, Dr Asma Afsaruddin, Dr. Craig Considine) discuss these roles and values in a number of unique videos, providing an insightful overview of the compelling character of Prophet Muhammadﷺ.
