Askar Mosque was one of the historical mosques of Medina, located to the east of the cemetery of the martyrs of Uhud. Its name is most likely due to the Islamic army (Askar) having prayed at this location on the eve of the Battle of Uhud. According to reports, Hazrat Hamza was martyred in the vicinity of this mosque, and the Prophet (s) also prayed there and supplicated for the martyrs. Over the course of history, this mosque underwent multiple destructions and reconstructions, and ultimately, in 1405 AH (1985 CE), it was completely demolished, and the Hamza Mosque was built in its place with a new structure.
Name and Location
The Askar Mosque was located to the east of the cemetery of the martyrs of Uhud, and no specific reason has been recorded for the name "Askar".[1] According to some researchers, the name "Askar" is due to the Islamic army having prayed in this area on the eve of the Battle of Uhud.[2] The mosque was 409 meters from Mount Uhud and 3,710 meters from the Prophet's Mosque.[3] ʿ
background
Martyrdom of Hazrat Hamza
According to some reports, after Hazrat Hamza was struck in the midst of the Battle of Uhud, he fell from his horse in the vicinity of this mosque and was martyred.[4]
The Prophet (s) in the vicinity of the mosque
Contemporary researchers, based on an old report, believe that the Prophet Muhammad (s) likely prayed in the vicinity of this mosque along with the Islamic army on the eve of the Battle of Uhud.[5] ʿ
According to some reports, after the Battle of Uhud, the Prophet(s) prayed at the site of this mosque for Hazrat Hamza and the martyrs of Uhud, and eight years later, to keep their memory alive, he led a prayer for Hamza at this location.[6](5) ʿ
History of the building
By the 10th century AH, most of the mosque's structure had been destroyed, and in its remains, similarly carved stones were visible.[7]
During the Ottoman period (reign until 1327 AH / 1909 CE), the mosque was described as having a well-constructed building.[8] In 1405 AH / 1985 CE, the Askar Mosque was completely demolished.[9] And the Hamza Mosque was built with a new structure on the site of the Askar Mosque.[10]
