The Second Battle in History of Islam - Ghazwah Uhud (Battle of Uhud)

When the self-claimed heroes of Makkah’s non-believers were defeated on the Day of Badr, it was a terrible blow for the Quraish. Men who had lost their fathers, sons and brothers approached Abu Sufyan and they all decided to conduct a new war against Muslims. A well-equipped Quraish army set out from Makkah in Shawwal 3 A.H (625 C.E.). They all advanced until they set up camp at the gates of Madinah. Their army comprised of three thousand strong men, of whom seven hundred were armed with coats of mail, and two hundred horses.

These forces advanced under the command of Abu Sufyan and after ten days of journey, they encamped at a village six miles from Medinah (Dhil-Halifah near Uhud). The Prophet (S.A.W.), being much inferior to his enemies in number, at first determined to keep himself within the town and to receive them there; but afterwards, the advice of some of his companions prevailing he marched out against them at the head of one thousand men, of whom one hundred were armed but he (S.A.W.) had no more than one horse, besides his own, in his whole army. With these forces, he halted at Mount Uhud (about four miles from North of Madinah). He was soon abandoned by Abdullah Ibn Ubayy, the leader of the Munafiqeen (Hypocrites), with three hundred of his followers. Thus, the small force of the Prophet (S.A.W.) was reduced to seven hundred.

At Mount Uhud, the Muslim troops passed the night and in the morning, after offering their prayers, they advanced into the plain. The Prophet (S.A.W.) contrived to have the hill at his back and the better to secure his men from being surrounded, he placed fifty archers on the height in the rear, behind the troops, and gave them strict orders not to leave their posts whatever might happen. When they came to engage, the Prophet (S.A.W.) had superiority at first. But afterward, his archers left their position for the sake of booty thus allowing the enemy to attack the Muslims in the rear and surround them. The Prophet (S.A.W.) very nearly lost his life. He (S.A.W.) was struck down by a shower of stones and wounded in the face by two arrows and one of his front teeth was broken. Of the Muslims, seventy men were killed (forty Muhajireen and thirty Ansaar), among whom was the Prophet's (S.A.W.) uncle Hamza (R.A.). Of the infidels, twenty-two men were lost. The Quraish were too exhausted to follow up their advantage, either by attacking Medinah or by driving the Muslims from the heights of Uhud. They retreated from the Medinite territories after barbarously mutilating the corpses of their dead enemies.

Allah's Message to the Believers at the Battle of Uhud

Almighty Allah said:

“So do not become weak (against your enemy), nor be sad, and you will be superior (in victory) if you are indeed (true) believers.

If a wound (and killing) has touched you, be sure a similar wound (and killing) has touched the others. And so are the days (good and not so good), We give to men by turns, that Allah may test those who believe, and that He may take martyrs from among you. And Allah likes not the Zalimeen (polytheists and wrongdoers).
