Dream - The name Jabal Uhud is certainly familiar to Muslims. Yes, Jabal Uhud or Mount Uhud is usually a place that cannot be missed when performing the Hajj or Umrah pilgrimage. Jabal Uhud is located in Madinah with its characteristic of a reddish-colored rocky mountain, approximately 1,050 meters high and 7 kilometers long. When seen, Jabal Uhud appears like a group of mountains that are not connected to other mountains. That's why the people of Madinah call it Jabal Uhud, which means 'isolated hill'.

And it is fortunate for those who have seen Jabal Uhud in the world, and Allah SWT permits them to see it again in the hereafter. So, what is special about Jabal Uhud? Here is the explanation as summarized by Dream from various sources.

The Battle of Uhud occurred on the 15th of Syawal in the 3rd year of Hijri or in the month of March 625 AD, which later became known as the Battle of Uhud. The battle involved the Muslims from Madinah led by Prophet Muhammad, and the polytheists of Quraysh from Makkah. In this battle, there was an imbalance in the number of troops. The Muslim forces initially consisted of 1,000 people, but it was known that there were hypocrites among them who withdrew from the battle and returned to Madinah.

So, the Muslim army under Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) only consisted of 700 people. Meanwhile, the polytheist army consisted of 3,000 people. Initially, the Muslim army had shown signs of victory, but there was an archer on Mount Arrimah who was tempted by the valuable belongings left behind by the polytheists. They abandoned their positions. Even though the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) had instructed them not to leave their positions, they violated his orders, except for Commander Abdullah bin Jabir and six other archers.

Because of that condition, Khalid bin Walid, as the commander of the Quraysh who at that time had not yet embraced Islam, led his troops to turn around and attack the rear of the Muslim army, and this is what caused the Muslim forces to suffer defeat. In that incident, there were 70 companions of the Prophet who were martyred. One of them was Hamzah bin Abdul Mutholib, who was the Prophet's uncle and his death greatly saddened him.

As the saying of the Prophet Muhammad pbuh goes: "Mount Uhud is one of the mountains in paradise." (HR. Bukhari) Furthermore, Anas bin Malik said that the Prophet Muhammad pbuh said: "Indeed, Uhud is a mountain that loves us, and we also love it." (HR. Bukhari and Muslim) Another hadith that shows the existence of Mount Uhud in paradise according to the saying of the Prophet Muhammad pbuh is as follows:

"If we want to see the hills in heaven, then visit Mount Uhud. Mount Uhud is one of the hills in heaven." (HR. Bukhari) The Prophet Muhammad loved Jabal Uhud very much. One day, he was on top of it with Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, Umar ibn Khattab, and Uthman ibn Affan. Suddenly, the mountain shook and the Prophet stamped his foot and said, "Be still, Uhud, for on top of you now is the Messenger of Allah and the one who always supports him (Abu Bakr) and two people who will die as martyrs (Umar ibn Khattab and Uthman ibn Affan)."

"After that, Jabal Uhud no longer trembled. It became a sign of protection and Uhud's joy in welcoming the arrival of Prophet Muhammad. In fact, what he said about the deaths of Umar and Uthman is a truth."
