The present article defines geography of Sῑrah, expounds its branches or dimensions and takes geographical perusal of four Sῑrah books namely “Maghᾱzῑ Rasūl Allah” by ʽUrwah ibn Zubair, “Sῑrah Ibn Hishᾱm” by Abū Muḥammad Abdul Mᾱlik ibn Hishᾱm, “ʽAhd-e-Nabawῑ ke Mᾱh wa Sᾱl” by ʽAllᾱmah Makhdūm Muḥammad Hᾱshim Sindhῑ and “ArRaḥῑq al-Makhtūm” (Sealed Nectar) by Ṣafῑ al-Raḥmᾱn Mubᾱrakpurῑ as representative works on this genre, that is, geographical Sῑrah. While reviewing these books, emphasis is laid on the use of geography, both anthropological or human geographies and physical geography employed in these books. The errors which have unwittingly crept into original or Urdu translations of these books are pointed out. The maps drawn by the modern Sῑrah writers in their geographical works are referred to, to highlight geographical impact of these works on the modern geographical Sῑrah writings. This article highlights two things: firstly, the salient features of the land of Sῑrah or the land inhabited by the Prophet surrounded by the people described in these books and secondly, the impact factor of these books is also discussed.
