UHAD MOUNT
1 . In Islamic battles ,two are most important and
historical. One of them is Badar and other is Uhad. After a clear defeat
in Badar, Kuffar of Makkah's wanted badly to take revenge of their defeat.
In the leadership of Abu-Suffian, a force of three thousand soldiers in
which two thousand horses and three thousand camels were included started
to move towards Madina to take revenge of his insult. They were fully equipped.
When Prophet(S.A.W) knew the intention of enemies, he(S.A.W) decided to
face them in UHAD. In UHAD, there was a "pass" on the mount .Prophet (S.A.W)
fixed the duty of some soldiers over this pass and ordered not to move
till next instructions. In UHAD Muslims fought bravely and well powered
enemy started to run back. Seeing this victory , the soldiers who were
performing their guard duty over "pass", forgot the instruction of Prophet
(S.A.W) unintentionally and started to loot the goods what enemies left
in the battlefield (As per Islamic rules looting of enemies goods in battle
field is allowed). It is gift of Almighty Allah. They left the "pass" opened.
In this situation brave Khalid Bin Waleed (He had not embraced Islam till
then) took a turn with his soldiers and re-attacked over Muslims. It was
so sudden and Muslims took little time to handle this accidental situation.
Muslims again fought bravely but due to disobedience of Prophet(S.A.W)
orders Muslims had to bear a loss of more than 70 lives in which Shahadat
of "AMEEER HAMZA"-uncle of Prophet -was very precious. In this battle precious
teeth of beloved Prophet(S.A.W) also got hurt.
2 . This mount of UHAD has an historical attraction
for all pilgrims. It is three kilometer away from Masjid-e-Nabvi. The grave
of Syedna Hamza (RA) remains crowded during daytime as it is most important
point of UHAD. Now the historical "pass" of UHAD is very much demolished.
3 . According to saying of Prophet (S.A.W)
"UHAD Loves us, we love UHAD. You all ,must visit
UHAD.
You must eat something from here. It may be dry
bushes/leaves etc".
