乌胡德山 - 弓箭手山 - 麦地那

Mount Uhud and Archers' Hill are popular among Muslim pilgrims who visit Medina. During the battle, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) ordered 50 archers to stay on the hill where they were supposed to protect the Muslim army from the opposing army's attack. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) gave the archers strict instructions not to move. However, during the battle, the archers deserted their post thinking the battle was over and went to collect the spoils of war. At the same time, the Meccan army, led by Khalid ibn al-Walid, attacked the Muslims, which resulted in a great loss of life and injuries to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The martyrs of the Battle of Uhud are also buried in a graveyard situated near the hill.

It's a sacred place for Muslims in Madina. A mosque has been built here and Battleground of Uhad is also here, Where the grave of Hazrat Hamza R. A. ( loving uncle of Prophet Muhammad S. A. W.) is located. Archer's hill is the name of this becuase during the War of Uhad, Prophet Muhammad S. A. W. Ordered few Sahaba karaam to sit there on hill top and attack Kuffaar form the top with their Archers.

The Uhad battle was fought on March 19, 625 CE (3 Shawwal 3 AH in the Islamic calendar) at the valley located in front of Mount Uhud, in what is now northwestern Arabia.[1] It occurred between a force from the Muslim community of Medina led by the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and a force led by Abu Sufyan ibn Harb from Mecca, the town from which many of the Muslims had previously emigrated. The Battle of ‘Uḥud was the second military encounter between the Meccans and the Muslims, preceded by the Battle of Badr in 624 CE, where a small Muslim army had defeated the much larger Meccan army. Marching out from Mecca towards Medina on March 11, 625 CE, the Meccans desired to avenge their losses at Badr and strike back at Muhammad and his followers. The Muslims readied for war soon afterward and the two armies fought on the slopes and plains of Mount ‘Uḥud. Whilst heavily outnumbered, the Muslims gained the early initiative and forced the Meccan lines back, thus leaving much of the Meccan camp unprotected. When the battle looked to be only one step far from a decisive Muslim victory, a serious mistake was committed by a part of the Muslim army, which shifted the outcome of the battle. A breach of Muhammad's orders by the Muslim archers, who left their assigned posts to despoil the Meccan camp, allowed a surprise attack from the Meccan cavalry, led by Meccan war veteran Khalid ibn al-Walid, which brought chaos to the Muslim ranks. Many Muslims were killed, including Hamza ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib, Muhammad's uncle and foster brother. Muhammad himself got injured. The Muslims had to withdraw up the slopes of ‘Uḥud. The Meccans did not pursue the Muslims further, but marched back to Mecca declaring victory. The two armies would meet again in 627 CE at the Battle of the Trench.

This the best place I have been visited since I was born, because I'm in place where prophet Mohammed (PUH) and his campaigns fight against nonbelievers and the impact of not following the direction from our prophet in that battle, and what we get from lessons learned. It was amazing journey. And I recomend all Muslims who get chance to visit this place.

A great place. Which the scenic Uhud/Ohud mountains in the background. The graveyard of the Martyrs and a Masjid in front. This hill, which played a big part in the historical Battle of Uhud stands. The hill where 50 archers were stationed on the command of Muhammad ﷺ
