Description

Today, we start our tour by visiting the Uhud Mountain. At the foot of Uhud, one of the greatest battles of Islam, the Battle of Uhud took place. Seventy of the companions, including the Master of Martyrs, Hamza ibn Abdul Muttalib (RA), were martyred in this battle. Next we visit Bani Haritha Mosque, or Masjid Al-Mustarah. It is also called Bani Haritha Mosque because it is located among houses belonging to the tribe. This is where Prophet (SAW) took rest once, during the return home from the Battle of Uhud. Then we head towards Masjid Al Dira. This is another small mosque linked to the battle of Uhud. The mosque is called al-Dira, means the armour or coat, because, as part of his preparations for the battle, is said to have worn his armour (dira) right there. We then visit the Seven Mosques (al-Masajid as-Sab'a). These mosques are located on the western side of the Mount Sela' when part of the trench was dug by Muslims in the time of Prophet (SAW) to defend Medina, when the Quraish marched in with the tribes in the fifth year of Hijra. These mosques are built on the known sites of troops stationed and monitoring sites of the battle in 627 CE. Return to hotel
