Battle Of Uhad

Battle Of Uhad


 

The Battle of Uhud was fought, in 625 CE, at the valley located in front of mount Uhud, which is now North-Western Arabia. 


It occurred between the Muslim community of Madina led by Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH), and a force led by Abu Sufyan. The battle was the second military encounter between the Meccans and the Muslims preceded by the Battle of Badar, where a small Muslim army had defeated the much larger Meccan army. 


Marching out from Mecca towards Madina on 625 CE, the Meccans desired to avenge their losses at Badr and strike back at Muhammad (PBUH) and his followers. 


Although Muhammad (PBUH) had given clear instructions that his men should hold the line before them lay the booty of the Qurayshi army; so they rushed to claim their share. The Qurayshi cavalry attacked the high ground and quickly broke through. Now the life of the Prophet (PBUH) himself was in jeopardy. 


While Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) got engaged in the desperate battle, the indiscipline of some of the faithful had enabled Abu Sufyan, to turn defeat into victory.

  Three days before his death, while the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad(PBUB) was visiting the house of Umm Al-Mumineen, Hazrat Maimuna(may Allah be pleased with him)  , he said:  "Gather my wifes."  All the spouses gathered.  The Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked:  "Do you all allow me to spend the day of illness with Ayesha (may Allah be pleased with him)?"  They all said: O Messenger of Allah!  Then he wanted to get up but he could not get up, so Hazrat Ali Ibn Abi Talib(may Allah be pleased with him)   and Hazrat Fazl bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) went ahead and lifted the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) with support.  They started to lead him towards the cell.  At that time, when the Companions saw the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) for the first time in this (illness and weakness) state, they began to ask ea...

 (PBUH)Al-Sadiq (The truthful one) and Al-Amin (The trustworthy one).  Muhammad (PBUH) was well known for his good manners and honesty. He was known as Al-Sadiq (The truthful one) and Al-Amin (The trustworthy one).  There are many stories related to Muhammad’s youth. These stories tell us how he used to take the sheep to graze and was always kind to them. While they grazed he would sit thinking about the mysteries of nature. Unlike those around him, he never worshipped the idols and never swore by them.  He also wondered why people were always struggling for power and money. He was a quiet, thoughtful boy, and rarely played with other boys of his age. On one occasion, however, Muhammad (PBUH) went with some of the boys to a wedding in Makkah. When he reached the house he heard the sounds of music and dancing but just as he was about to enter he suddenly felt tired; which made him sit down and fall asleep. He did not wake up until late the next morning and thus missed...
