Uhud mountain is standing almost 5 Kms away from Nabawi mosque and it looks very great. Usman ghani dates garden Bagh e Usman Ghani This is a section of Mount Uhud, in front of which the second battle in Islam (the Battle of Uhud) took place in 3 AH. Of this mountain the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) declared, “This mountain loves us and we love it.” [Muslim] After the humiliating defeat in the Battle of Badr a year earlier, the Quraysh of Makkah made preparations to muster a great army to fight the Muslims again and take revenge. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) left Madinah for the valley of Mount Uhud with a Muslim army of only 700 and drew up his troops for battle. Before the battle, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) had put 50 archers under Abdullah bin Jubair (may Allah be pleased with him) at a mountainside and ordered them strictly to stay there until further orders, whatever may be the condition. They were to obstruct the enemy if they attacked the Muslims from the rear. The two armies set upon each other and a fierce battle ensued. The Muslim soldiers concentrated their attack on the eleven standard bearers of the pagans until they were all wiped out. As the enemy standards sank to the ground, the Muslim soldiers hurled themselves against the enemy. Abu Dujanah (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him), fought with great fearlessness, and their heroic feats on the battlefield were to become legendary in Muslim military history. Tragically, Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him), the Lion of Allah, was martyred in the same battle he had dominated. He was killed by the javelin of Wahshi bin Harb, an Abyssinian slave, who with that successful throw earned his freedom from his master, Jubayr bin Mutim. It was at this point of perceived victory that events began unravelling. The archers who had been entrusted with the safety of their brothers in faith disobeyed the Prophet’s clear orders and deserted their stations, thinking that the battle was over. Forty of the rearguards descended the mountain and left the Muslims vulnerable to a counter attack by the enemy. Khalid bin Waleed saw the sudden vacuum created by the disappearance of the rearguard and his cavalrymen attacked the Muslims from behind, killing many in the process. When the Muslims saw themselves surrounded, they were overtaken by panic and disorder and failed to map out a cohesive plan. The enemy fought their way close to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) who was hit with a rock and fell on his side. One of his front teeth was chipped, his lower lip was cut, and his helmet was damaged. As an enemy soldier thrust his sword at the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him), he caught his bone below the eye, and two rings from the Prophet’s helmet pierced his face. The blood ran down his face and he wiped it away, saying, “How can a people prosper who have stained their Prophet’s face with blood while he summoned them to their Lord!” Mus’ab bin Umair (may Allah be pleased with him), was targeted by the enemy as he was the Muslims standard-bearer and he was killed. Since Mus’ab (may Allah be pleased with him) resembled the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) to a great extent, his killer, Abdullah bin Qam’a, thought he had slain the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) and jubilantly shouted out that he had killed Muhammad. Rumours of the death of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) filtered through the Muslims, plummeting their morale. Grief stricken and lost, some of them simply abandoned the field, while others were infused with resolve and rallied saying, “Come, let us die for what the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) gave his life.” The crisis receded only when Ka’b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) caught a glimpse of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him), making his way to join the besieged Muslims. K’ab recognised the Prophet’s eyes although his face was covered with the helmet. He cried loudly, “O Muslims, rejoice! Here is the Prophet!”. Ka’b’s words galvanised the remaining Muslims, and they streamed to the Prophet’s side. Within a short time thirty Companions assembled around him. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) decided against further combat, wisely choosing to retreat. He made his way through the rows and successfully led his troops towards the mountain pass. thank you for watching. travel heaven travelheaven travel heaven Follow us on: https://Travellingheaven1.blogspot.com Facebook:   / shl.janjua   Google plus: https://plus.google.com/1092939709946...
