The Seerah Chronicles
A rhyming Seerah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, written and painted by Anika, for anyone aged 3 to 103.
A valley called Makkah, the place of the Ka‘bah,
where the water from Zamzam well flows;
surrounded by mountains that glisten and glow,
with golden above them and golden below.
The rhymes were written when Anika became a mama for the first time, with the hope of connecting little hearts to the one who was a mercy to mankind ﷺ. Now every rhyme is taking form and colour on canvas, page by page: from the land of purple trees to the land of golden sunsets.
