It is the Mount near which the armies of the polytheists of Quraysh passed to fight the Prophet (ﷺ). It is also the place where Abu Sufyan's army camped in the Battle of Al-Ahzab.
There are three mountains in Madinah called Jammawat, one of which is Jamma Al-Aqir. It is one of the famous mountains in Madinah due to its proximity to the road trodden by the polytheist armies that targeted Madinah, and due to the fact that it contains many historical monuments.
Madinah is famous for three mountains known as Jammawat, two of which— namely, Jamma Tadharu’ and Jamma Um Khaled— are connected. The last one, Jamma A-Aqir, stands alone. Jama Al-Aqir and the other two Jamawat are separated by a spacious land. It is the land through which Quraysh armies passed to fight the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in the Battles of Uhud and Al-Ahzab.
Jamma Al-Aqir Mount is mostly formed of red and black stones. Its summit is flat, without sharp peaks, and the mountain can be easily climbed.
Jamma Al-Aqir Mount is located in the west of Madinah, about 8 km away from the Prophet’s Mosque. It can be reached through the As-Salam Sub-Road, or through Imam Muslim 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.
