Welcome to Al-Sirah - a heartwarmingly groundbreaking video game that invites the whole family to discover the life of the Prophet Muhammad (Sallā -llāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) and the early days of Islam in an interactive, engaging way.

Designed for young Muslims aged 10-12 and their families, and those curious about Islam, Al-Sirah turns learning into an adventure. Step into the bustling, historically-inspired cities of Mecca and Medina, walk the streets as they might have been 1,400 years ago and interact with the people who shaped the foundations of Islamic history.

Video games are the most influential media of our time, but Islamic content has been painfully neglected. Al-Sirah changes this by providing a playful, immersive experience rooted in Sirah - a prophetic biography - and the birth of Islam.  

Children around the world can recall the intricate stories of their favourite Pokémon or the detailed floor plans of medieval cities from games like Assassin's Creed. With Al-Sirah, we aim to bring the same excitement and deep learning into the lives of young Muslims. The game is also very well suited to non-Muslims, who can learn new things about the history of Islam in a fun way.

Wander the streets of Mecca and Medina, reconstructed to offer a simplified but charming glimpse into their history. Enter buildings, meet inhabitants, and experience daily life during the 16 years of Prophet Muhammad’s mission.

Take on quests, solve puzzles, and interact with well-known personalities from Islamic history. Be it delivering an item, helping a character or learning through dialogue, the game combines fun and education.

Through exploration, players will naturally internalize the stories and events of the Sirah, just as other games have helped children master complex narratives in other contexts.

The first version of Al-Sirah will tell the story revolving around the boycott against the Muslim community in Makkah and have a playtime of around 2 hours. Players can choose the protagonist between a local Makkah boy or girl aged ten.

The game will feature some important residents of Makkah like the Prophet Muhammad (Sallā -llāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) himself, his uncle Abu Talib, Hisham ibn Amr, and others. However, similar to the 1976 movie “The Message”, the Prophet Muhammad (Sallā -llāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) will not be depicted directly at any point. Instead the scenes where he is present will be shown from his point of view.

To make it very clear: The Prophet will not be depicted visually or audibly in any form. His words will appear as text, drawn primarily from authentic Hadith and Quranic verses. We have no intention of creating fictional dialogue or attributing words to him beyond Islamic tradition as that would contradict the goals of the game.

Locations will include among others the Kaaba, the valley of the boycott, and the homes of different Makkah residents.

Quests within this story will be:

• Find out about the boycott document before it is written.
• Help Abu Talib create a famous poem in response to the boycott
• Help Hisham ibn Amr to smuggle food and goods into the valley.
• and many more

The game will be based on three gameplay pillars: Open 3D movement, dialogues and item interactions. These three elements allow us to build a rich, immersive narrative.

Additionally, many situations in the game will offer the opportunity to enrich the gameplay further through minigames. These can include: herding of animals, collecting firewood, composing poems, and many more.

Since our game is primarily made for young Muslims aged 8-12, localizing the game into their local languages will be of the utmost importance. At release we plan to have the game localized into English and Arabic at least. However, we will also explore localizing the game into other languages depending on feedback from the community. Hot candidates are Turkish, Indonesian, Urdu, etc.

The game will be released on Steam for PC and be available to hundreds of millions of players.

Depending on our budget and possibilities we would love to bring the game to Nintendo Switch and other consoles, too.

Risks and challenges

Authenticity:

As Muslims and parents in our team ourselves, we understand the importance of authenticity in educational content very well. This is why we strive to achieve the highest level of quality and authenticity possible for the content of our game. To achieve this goal we plan to work with Islamic scholars and academic experts on the Sirah and have them consult us on the game. However, it must also be said that for video games to be fun and immersive, there is always a certain level of abstraction and simplification necessary. We are not making an academic study on historical accuracy after all.

Production Risks:

Game development always comes with challenges, but with our years of experience at SenAm Games, we are well-equipped to navigate them. Our team understands the complexities of the process, and we are committed to transparent communication with our community and backers. Should any obstacles arise, we will work together to find effective solutions and ensure the project stays on track.
