It is a small mountain behind the Mount Uhud, and constitutes the northern boundary of Madinah sanctuary.
Mount Thawr is a small mountain behind Mount Uhud, north of Madinah. It forms the northern boundary of the sanctuary of Madinah, as stated in the Hadith: “Madinah is a Haram (Sanctuary), and extends from A'yr to Thawr.”
The mountain was called by this name because it resembles the shape of a bull, especially when viewed from the eastern or western side. The black rocky part that tops the mountain resembles the hump of a bull, and the rest of the mountain appears in its homogeneous red color as if it is the body of a bull.
• Madinah sanctuary is bounded by A'yr Mount from the south, which is about 16 kilometers away from Mount Thawr.
• Thawr Mount, located north of Uhud Mount, marks the boundary of Madinah sanctuary from the north.
Thawr Mount is located behind the Mount of Uhud in the north of Madinah, about 9 km away from the Prophet’s Mosque. It can be reached through Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz Road.
A majestic spot that witnessed the most intense moments in the life of the Messenger of Allah and his honorable companions. The sincerity of the faith of the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, and the betrayal of the hypocrites and Jews surfaced here, in great events immortalized by the Qur’an and ended with the victory of the Prophet and his companions.
The prophet, blessings and peace be upon him, chose this place to be a graveyard for his companions. Around 10,000 of the honorable companions were buried there. Because of the large number of righteous people who were buried in this cemetery, it is called Al-Baqi' Garden.
