Al-Hajj Al-Mabroor

You will find the place as it is, and you can see where the soldiers
of Islam used to stand, and the post of the disbelievers, also the
graves of the Muslims who were martyred in the Battle of Badr.
This place will remind you of an important event in the history of
Islam, which is the first victory of faith over disbelief, of freedom
over slavery, and the Religion of Allah over idolatry. This land
was honored by the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and
grant him peace) and his Companions (may Allah be mercy to
them), and was honored by the blood of the Muslim martyrs.
We then move from Badr to Uhud, the battle that took place at
Uhud Mount, when the archers disobeyed the command of the
Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace),
and did not listen to his instructions to stay in their positions
above Uhud, but they abandoned their posts and descended to get
their share from the spoils, upon which the Muslims were
defeated. For Allah would not grant them victory when they
disobeyed the command of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah
bless him and grant him peace). Recite the Qur’anic verse in which
Allah, all praise and glory be to Him, says (what means):
“(And remember) when you ran away (dreadfully) without even
casting a side glance at anyone, and the Messenger (Muhammad
SAW) was in your rear calling you back. There did Allâh give
you one distress after another by way of requital to teach you not
to grieve for that which had escaped you, nor for that which had
befallen you. And Allâh is WellAware of all that you do.”(Âl-
‘Imrân, 3:152)
