Introduction

Welcome to the author website of Col. Binimad Al-Ateeqi.

I am a Muslim author researching history and various sciences from an Islamic perspective.

In March of 2020, I published my groundbreaking new book, Makkah at the Time of Prophet Muḥammad (PBUH), which highlights Makkah’s geography, homes, and other landmarks as they existed during the lifetime of Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ), and provides numerous insights into the sīrah (biography) of the Prophet (ﷺ).

Initially intended as a companion book to my viral YouTube video, Mecca at the Dawn of Islam, this illustrated reference is based on more than a decade of research and contains detailed maps showing the layout of Makkah during the Prophet’s lifetime, along with little-known information about the ancient city, including many new and important upgrades to the information presented in the video.

The second edition of Makkah at the Time of Prophet Muḥammad (PBUH), planned for release in late 2024, has significantly increased the number of revealed landmarks such that the vast majority of the Holy City has now been revealed in great detail. For example, the number of properties alone has increased from 81 to 214 covering nearly the entire valley. All of this and much more can be found fully detailed in this second edition and perhaps just as exciting depicted in 3D interactive maps at SirahMaps.com.

So, what’s next? God willing, my main contribution as an author may be in providing a comprehensive and contextual biography of Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ) with a much deeper historical foundation than is typically found in other works. Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ): A Comprehensive and Contextual Biography is a five-volume book, with Volumes One and Two planned for release in 2026-2027.

Some of my earlier works are The Law of Attraction and Islam: A Guide for Positive Change and my 2018, e-book, Quran Math Miracles: An Undeniable Miraculous Code, which is free to download, and is partially based on my popular YouTube series, Quran Math Miracles.

When I set out to pinpoint the location of Maqām Ibrāhīm throughout the ages for inclusion in my new book, I examined the earliest available sources of relevance to this issue, and then came up with a completely new “mathematical” approach to bolster my findings.

The Population of Makkah during the Lifetime of Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)

Dec 20, 2020 | 2 Comments

When there’s no official census to depend on, how do researchers determine the population of a particular city or area? This is the question I faced as I researched the matter of Makkah’s population for my new (2020) book, Makkah at the Time of Prophet Muḥammad (PBUH).
