After the goods of the caravan led by Abu Sufya gave everyone a share, they decided to form a strong army with the remaining profit.
The Quraysh formed an army of 3000 with the participation of the Arab tribes outside of Mecca. This army consisted of 700 armored, 200 cavalry and 3000 camels. There were 14 women in total, including the wife of Abu Sufya.

Thereupon, our Prophet (saas) kept the news reported in the letter secret and sent explorers. The news sent by the explorers matched exactly with those in the letter. Thereupon, our Prophet (saas) established a war council.
Two ideas emerged;

The aim of the polytheists was to defeat the Muslims in the war and then plunder the city. For this reason, the side of Mount Uhud, which is close to Medina, was chosen as the war zone.
Our Prophet (saas) turned the army’s back on the mountain and took sides against the enemy who was occupying the barren land in front of him. As in Badr, our Prophet (saas) again placed the army in its proper place. He guarded the places where the enemy could infiltrate and lay siege with archers.

“Do not leave your places, whether the enemy is defeated or not,” he said.
