I'm reading a book entitled "A Brief Introduction to Seersh." What does the word "seerah" mean?

Salam/Peace,
 
IMHO, "seerah" linguistically means biography or way of life.. in this case biography or way of life of Prophet Muhammad (please be upon him).
Salam/Peace,

As Salamu Alaikum [ Peace be on you}
 
Did you start reading seerah, sis ?
 
Which chapter are you into ?
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: �All the descendants of Adam are sinners, and the best of sinners are those who repent."
