Sayyid Ash-Shuhada Mosque, Religious monument in Uhud Valley, Medina, Saudi Arabia.

The white mosque features a central dome and two minarets, incorporating modern design elements across its 8,947 square meters of space.

The mosque stands near the site of the Battle of Uhud in 625 CE, where Prophet Muhammad's uncle Hamzah ibn Abdul Muttalib became a martyr.

The structure honors Hamzah ibn Abdul Muttalib, who received the title Sayyid al-Shuhada, meaning Master of Martyrs, from Prophet Muhammad.

The main prayer hall accommodates 15,000 worshippers and includes facilities such as washing stations and administrative offices for visitor services.

The mosque forms part of a 340-hectare complex that includes Martyrs Square, historic cemeteries, a school, and civil service buildings.
