THE PLACE OF UHUD AND KHANDAQ GHAZAT IN THE HISTORY OF ISLAM

Abstract

After the defeat at Badr, Quraysh became eager to take revenge on the Muslims in the month of Shawwal of the 3rd Hijri year (March 21, 625 AD). They gathered an army of 3 thousand people and called the neighboring Arabs to provide it well. The army had 700 armored cavalry, 200 horses, and 3000 camels. A group of women led by Abu Sufyan's wife Hind also accompanied the army1. The uncles of the Prophet (s.a.w.) Abbas kept informed about the events happening in Makkah. When it became known that the army was gathering, the Companions were immediately called for a consultation. It discussed the issues of protecting the city from the inside or the outside.
