“ I LOVE UHUD

( SYEDINA MUHAMMADUR RASOOL ALLAH SAL-LAL-LAHU-ALAIHI-WA-SALLAM
). Dates
at the foot of Uhud :- 
Subhanallah,
how resplendent these dates; green gems strung on a golden chain, suspended from
a most elegant palm. Fashioned by the most Artistic of Jewellers! Allahu Akbar.
This photo was taken a few weeks ago in one of the dense groves hugging the foot
of Mount Uhud. 
The
very same bunch having been artistically rendered with a subtle palette of ruby
by Al-Khaliq, The Creator during the time in between visits. Allahu Akbar Allahu
Akbar Allahu Akbar.
Ion a track inside this plantation. Imagine that it
could very well have been where, Hazrat Khalid Bin Al Waleed Razi Allahu Thaalah
Anhu (before he was the Sword of Allah) had so aggressively ridden to the surprise
attack on the Muslims as they left their position on top of Mount Ramah.
Hazrat
Khalid ibn Al Waleed Radhiallahu anhu, rode around the back of mount Uhud appearing
from the opposite side to where the Qureysh army had originally attacked. At the
time the date plantations were extremely dense, providing an excellent camouflage.
He was noted for his courage, intellect, firm determination, as well as an unparalleled
rider, expert swordsman, and equally adept with the spear or any other weapon.
Beloved Prophet SallAllahu alaihi wasallam said: "Khalid ibn Al Waleed! On
the basis of your intelligence and foresight I was very hopeful that one day you
would finally accept Islam." Masha’Allah, what stunning attributes he
did bring to the Muslims and their numerous battles requiring his impeccable skills
in warfare, after realizing the Truth and embracing Islam.
As I walked on this
dirt track, the houses around Uhud vanished on my inner screen. Replaced by imaginative
scenes of tension, disobedience, death, pain, loss, amidst valour and heroics
on this small battlefield. The Sahabah Radhiallahu anhum, were fearless in their
sacrifices for the sake of Islam, their ardent trust in our Noble Messenger SallAllahu
alaihi wasallam and their firm belief in all the promises of the Akhirah. May
Allah Ta’ala bestow the highest Ajar on the martyrs of Uhud, especially the
cherished uncle of the Prophet SallAllahu alaihi wasallam, Sayyiduna Hamza, RadhiAllu
anhu. And may He bring them close to Him in Jannatul Firdous, along with all true
Shaheed. Ameen.
The
Observations of the Noble Qur’ân on the Battle of Uhud
Some Qur’ânic
verses were revealed to shed light on the most decisive phases of the battle successively,
adduce quite clearly the cause that led to that heavy loss, and illustrate the
vulnerable areas that were still persisting in the souls of some believers as
regards their duties in forging a decisive attitude with respect to the noble
objectives for which the Muslim Community, was created and was supposed to accomplish.
The
Noble Qur’ân also spoke about the attitude of the pretenders to Faith
and made clear the hostility and hatred that they harboured against Allâh
and His Messenger. The Words of Allâh managed as well to erase all traces
of ambiguities and insinuations, raised by the hypocrites and their allies, the
Jews — the authors of conspiracy and intrigue hatching — and which were
still in active operation in the hearts of some weak-of-heart Muslims.
The
laudable judgement and long-sought objectives that were attributable to the battle
of Uhud, were also another topic for the Noble Qur’ân to dwell on at
length. Sixty verses relevant to the battle were revealed giving full account
of the first phase of the battle: "And
(remember) when you (Muhammad [pbuh]) left your household in the morning to post
the believers at their stations for the battle (of Uhud)." [Al-Qur'an 3:121]
And
to end in a comprehensive commentary on its results and moralities:
"Allâh
will not leave the believers in the state in which you are now, until He distinguishes
the wicked from the good. Nor will Allâh disclose to you the secrets of
the Ghaib (unseen), but Allâh chooses of His Messengers whom He pleases.
So believe in Allâh and His Messengers. And if you believe and fear Allâh,
then for you there is a great reward." [Al-Qur'an 3:179]
Lessons
and Moralities
Ibn Al-Qaiyim has made a pointed reference to the battle
of Uhud and given full elucidation of the Divine benefits and moralities that
resulted from it. Some Muslim scholars, on the authority of Ibn Hajar, said: The
reverse in Uhud resulted from the neglect on the part of the archers of the explicit
command of the Prophet [pbuh], and leaving the spot which they were ordered to
safeguard to the end. In other words, the success of the Muslims depends upon
their obedience to the Prophet [pbuh]. As long as they carry out his behests,
Allâh will help them in facing all kinds of odds. But when they will set
aside his commands in their pursuit of worldly riches, they are bound to come
to grief. Another relevant issue of great significance says that it is customary
for Prophets to be tried with different adversities; nevertheless, the final outcome
is positively in their favour. Should the Muslims be victorious all the time,
great many pretenders to Faith will enter the fold of Islam, and consequently
the clear line of demarcation between true believers and hypocrites will become
blurred. Contrarily, if the Muslims were to be defeated all the time, the final
objective of the ministry of Prophets will not be effected. It is wise then to
combine both success and failure so that sifting between true Muslims and hypocrites
could be realized. In
the aftermath of the battle of Uhud, the hypocrites disclosed their real intentions
in words and in deeds, consequently, the Muslims got to realize the existence
of those wicked elements working secretly in their own homeland; and of course
there would be appropriate measures to be taken in due course of time.
A third
point in this context refers to purposeful deferment of victory in some areas
in order to check the pride of the soul and teach the believers how to observe
full patience in times of adversity. Trials and tests are provided by Allâh
in order that the true believers could deservedly occupy their abode in the blessed
Hereafter. Martyrdom, the highest ranks that the true friends of Allâh could
occupy, is provided by Allâh to function as a passport, granted by the Lord,
leading to Paradise. In brief, fight in the cause of Allâh is a golden opportunity
for the true believers to have their sins effaced, and a Divinely-devised event
for the disbelievers and enemies of Allâh to face destruction and annihilation
in recompense for their disbelief, tyranny and transgression. [Za'd Al-Ma'ad 2/99-108]
