The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) led the Medinan Muslims against the Meccans at the Battle of Uhud. It seemed like a decisive Muslim victory and the archers abandoned their position on Mount Uhud to loot the Meccans; this fatal error resulted in a surprise attack by the Meccans. It was a major Muslim defeat with many casualties and the Prophet (pbuh) was injured.
Moral of the Story: Don't be greedy, fool.
The Muslims later defeated the Meccans at the Battle of the Trench, close to Mount Uhud, cementing Islam's place in Madinah. The trenches are roads now and cannot be seen.

The picture does not do this mountain justice. It's huge and formidable!
No shortage of people.
Mount Uhud
Allah seems to have blessed the Saudis with two things and only two things: oil and dates. Everything and I mean everything in Saudi Arabia is imported. I saw more Fords, Buicks, and GMCs there than in America.
More dates.
Toys
Mountains on every side.
