Cave of Uhud – Holy Place of Muslims. Medina has several important places in Islam, in which “Mount Uhud” is one of the great sites for Muslims. It is also known as the “Battle of Uhud”. It is located 5km from Masjid-al-Nabawi an important place in the battle of the early history of Islam. Mount Uhud comprises a group of mountains that has a rich history in Islam. Although there is still possible to climb the small hill and see the surrounding area as well as the graveyard of the martyrs.
The Uhud Mountain is a short drive from the Outskirts of Medina and a very interesting story to share knowledge. Well, related to the Battle of Uhud is the “Cave of Uhud” which is quite far from the battle site. The cave located on the side of Mount Uhud is the place where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) took refuge after being wounded in the battle to receive treatment.
The site does not encourage by the Saudi government, as you’ve to be physically very fit to climb up and tried to get in. However, not many could do that, but those who were fit tried to follow the path that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) climbed. From Cave, you can have a rare stunning view of another part of Madinah.
In the cave, a sweet-smelling scent all around, and some say it is the smell of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) still here. While sceptics would say, it could perfume the people’s use as a sign of respect for the place. Therefore, the fragrance, along with the awe of lying here bursts the heart, intoxicating the mind, and releasing floods of blissful tears.
