Events of the Battle of Uhad

Battle of Uhad took place in 625, 3rd year of Hijra. Its major reasons were the revenge of Badr and to open the blockade of the trade route to Syria. Since the day, the Quresh faced defeat in Badr, they started a major preparation for another battle in Makkah in which they invested a huge amount.

Pagans of Makkah came to Madina with three thousand well equipped men. They stayed into a ground in front of the Uhad Mountain. The Prophet (saw) was in favour of defending and staying in the city but the young boys insisted on going out and fight. The Prophet (saw) took one thousand men with him. On his way to Uhad, three hundred hypocrites led by Abhullah Ibn Ubi deserted the army. Muslims were only seven hundred in front of three thousand well equipped Qurash.

The Prophet (saw) placed 50 archers at an opening which was dangerous. The battle bagan and Allah fulfilled His promise and the Muslims won the battle. Pagans started running back to Makkah. When Muslims saw this defeat, they started looting booty without asking the Prophet (saw). When the archers saw this, they left the opening and joined the other Muslims. Khalid Bin Walid was a capable general of Quresh. He saw the opening without any protection. He took his cavalry men and attacked from behind. Muslims were not ready for this attack and it caused panic everywhere. 

In this panic the slave of Hinda got a chance and killed Hamza (ra), the uncle of the Prophet (saw). The Prophet (saw) was also injured and lost his tooth and seventy Muslims lost their lives. This is strange that the Quresh had won but they decided to go back to Makkah and not attacking Madina. Abu Sufyan, the leader of the Quresh challenged the Muslims to have another fight next year in badr. The Prophet (sw) was injured and the Muslim army was demoralized, yet the Prophet (sw) chased Makkans. Apparently, the Quresh won the battle but in reality they could not achieve both of their targets. Neither they killed the Prophet nor they could open the trade route. It meant that the next battle was inevitable.

From this battle, Muslims got the lesson that they must not disobey the Prophet (saw) and the Muslim commander. The Muslims lost the battle due to their greed. The pagans did not capture Madina and went back to Makkah.

  6. It is not a well deserved developed answer a/c to the CIE pattern. With insufficient length and ok vocabulary it will be considered as a basic answer only.
