Masjid Shuhada Uhud - Medina

The Battle of Uhud was a major engagement between early Muslims and the Quraysh during the Muslim-Quraysh War. The battle was fought in a valley north of Mount Uhud near Medina on Saturday, 23 March 625 AD (7 Shawwal, 3 AH),[10][11] Battle of Uhud Part of the Muslim–Quraysh War Muhammad and the Muslim Army at the Battle of Uhud[1] Date 23 March 625 (7 Shawwal, AH 3 (in the ancient (intercalated) Arabic calendar) Location Valley by Mount Uhud, north of Medina, Arabia 24°30′N 39°37′E Result Quraysh victory[2][3] Belligerents Muslims of Medina Quraysh of Mecca Commanders and leaders Muhammad (WIA) Ali ibn Abi Talib Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib † Abdullah ibn Jubayr † [4] Mundhir ibn Amr [4] Zubayr ibn al-Awam Abd-Allah ibn Ubayy (Defected) [4] 'Ubadah ibn al-Samit[5] Abu Sufyan Hind bint Utbah Ikrimah bin Abu Jahl Amr ibn al-As Khalid ibn al-Walid Strength 754 total 700 Infantry[a] 50 archers 4 cavalry 3,200 total[8] 3,000 infantry 3,000 camels 200 cavalry Casualties and losses 62[9]–75 killed 22[9]–35 killed Battle of Uhud is located in Saudi ArabiaBattle of Uhud Location within Saudi Arabia After suffering defeat at the Battle of Badr and having their caravans endlessly attacked and plundered by Muhammad's side, the Quraysh finally saw the necessity to take strong measures. Their chief, Abu Sufyan, then set out for Medina with 3,000 troops to confront Muhammad.[12] The early phase of the fighting saw the Muslims gaining the initiative. The Quraysh vanguard began faltering and retreated, leaving their camps vulnerable. However when Muslim victory seemed near, the Muslim rear guard who were tasked to defend a hill to protect against a possible encirclement, abandoned their positions to collect spoils of war left by the fleeing enemy. This turn of events was exploited by the Quraysh general Khalid ibn al-Walid who launched a daring cavalry strike in the undefended rear and encircled the Muslims, thus turning the tide of battle. The battle was seen as a significant setback for the Muslims and a minor victory for the Quraysh as they would return with an even larger force in the Battle of the Trench.

This Masjid is considered a vital historic landmark by Muslims as this is where a very major battle in Islam, the battle of Uhud, took place. There has an administrative block, ablution/wudhu place installed for the pilgrims with special facilities for people with disabilities. There is a small market near the mosque which is famous for its carpets, dates, souvenirs, ice cream etc. Pilgrims or tourist visiting the Masjid should try the fresh dates that are sold at a cheaper price after Asar Prayer. InshaAllah, will come back again.

Beautiful mosque located at the foothills of Mount Uhud. May Allah bless all the martyrs and those who fought for Islam.
