The Prophet’s Sirah • Series 10

The Battle of Uhud

The Test After Victory: Obedience, Patience and the Martyrs, According to the Qur’an and Authentic Hadith

A year after Badr, Quraysh returned with three thousand fighters. At the foot of Mount Uhud the Muslims were winning at first — until the archers left their hill. The tenth book of The Prophet’s Sirah tells of the Battle of Uhud: an order broken, Companions who made their bodies a shield for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and martyrs shaded by the angels. “I smell the scent of Paradise beyond Uhud.”
