Uhud Martyrs' Cemetery

About seventy Muslims are reported to have fallen at Uhud, according to the common count in the sources. According to the sira, the martyrs were buried where they fell. The Prophet ﷺ prayed for them and remembered them; the details are recorded in hadith literature. Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib, the uncle of the Prophet ﷺ, is traditionally called "Master of the Martyrs". The cemetery has been arranged and opened for visits over time.

The cemetery is at the foot of Mount Uhud and can be reached by taxi. Visiting hours are usually during the day and may change; check local information for current arrangements. The cemetery is open-air, so walking and sun exposure can be demanding in hot months. Arrangements for men and women may differ.

When visiting the martyrs' graves, be quiet, pray and reflect. Do not step on the graves or sit on them, and respect the dignity of the place when taking photographs. Asking the martyrs for help or seeking blessing from graves is considered without basis by many scholars. Supplication is addressed to Allah.
