Albatha

Albatha is a historical village located near Mecca in Saudi Arabia. It is significant in Islamic history as the site of a battle between the Quraysh tribe of Mecca and the forces of Medina led by the Prophet Muhammad. The Battle of Albatha, though relatively minor compared to other battles like Badr and Uhud, is still a recognized event within the broader context of the early Islamic period. The location's historical significance stems from its proximity to Mecca and its association with this early military engagement.
