Mount Uhud — Graves of the Martyrs of Uhud
جَبَلُ أُحُد — شُهَدَاءُ أُحُد
The battlefield of Uhud, located about 5 km north of Masjid al-Nabawi, was the site of the Battle of Uhud (3 AH / 625 CE). Seventy companions of the Prophet were martyred here, including the Prophet's beloved uncle Syedna Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib (AS) — known as 'the Lion of Allah and His Messenger.' Their graves lie at the foot of Mount Uhud, and the Prophet himself visited their graves regularly to pray for them.
Why it Matters
The martyrs of Uhud represent the supreme sacrifice made for Islam. The Prophet said of Hamza: 'He is the master of martyrs.' Visiting Uhud during the Madina ziyarat is sunnah — the Prophet visited and prayed for the martyrs, and this practice is followed by pilgrims to this day.
