Mount Uhud(جبل أحد) A prominent mountain north of মদীনা মুনাওয়ারা, the site of the Battle of Uhud in 3 AH (625 CE). It holds deep significance in Islamic history and is a মুস্তাহাব visit site for হাজীগণ in মদীনা মুনাওয়ারা.
جبل أحد
Mount Uhud is the largest mountain in মদীনা মুনাওয়ারা, stretching approximately 7 km in length and rising about 1,077 meters above sea level. নবী করীম Muhammad (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম) expressed his love for this mountain, saying: 'Uhud is a mountain that loves us and we love it' (Sahih Bukhari). The Battle of Uhud (3 AH/625 CE) was a significant military engagement where the Muslim army initially prevailed but suffered losses when archers left their positions. Seventy companions were martyred, including Hamza ibn Abdul Muttalib, নবী করীম's beloved uncle known as 'the Lion of Allah.' The Shuhada (Martyrs) Cemetery at the foot of Uhud contains the graves of these fallen companions. Visiting Mount Uhud is মুস্তাহাব for হাজীগণ in মদীনা মুনাওয়ারা, where they can pray at the small মসজিদ near the cemetery, pay respects at the martyrs' graves, and reflect on the lessons of steadfastness and obedience from the battle.
