The martyrdom of Hazrat Hamza Sayyid al-Shuhada (peace be upon him)
Hamza b. Abd al-Muttalib (d. 3/625) titled as “Asad Allah”, “Asad Rasul Allah” and “Sayyid al-Shuhada” was the Prophet’s (s) uncle and martyred in the Battle of Uhud. Even when Hamza had not still become a Muslim, he defended the Prophet (s) against the harassments of idolaters. He was one of the noble people of Quraysh and therefore when he became Muslim, Quraysh would harass the Prophet (s) less than before.
After becoming a Muslim, Hamza was remained among the most important defenders of the Prophet (s). He accompanied Muslims in the Shi’b Abi Talib. Hamza participated in a number of battles including the Battle of Badr and the Battle of Uhud in which he was martyred.
Condolences on the martyrdom anniversary of Hamza ibn Abdul-Muttalib (AS), the uncle of Holy Prophet (pbuh).
