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:
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]
