Mount selae in the "District of the Seven Mosques" in city of Medina Municipality in Saudi Arabia. Sela' means "sliced", because the mountain looks as if it is sliced several times.[1][2]

"The Prophet Muhammad in the "Battle of the Trench" prayed to God for victory on Mount Sela'. Mount Sela was mentioned by several Hadith of the stories of the Prophet such as The Prayer for Rain, The forgiveness of Ka'b b. malik.[3][4][5]

Sela is mentioned by Al-Hamdani in his book Geography of Arabian Peninsula as part of Medina city in his time 150 years after Muhammad.[6][7] His name and his companions Umar and Ali are inscribed on a stone on top of the mountain.[8][9][10][11]

Some Muslim Scholars claim that Sela Was prophecied in Bible in Isaiah 42

11 Let the wilderness and its towns raise their voices;

let the settlements where Kedar lives rejoice.

Let the people of Sela sing for joy;

let them shout from the mountaintops.

12Let them give glory to the Lord

and proclaim his praise in the islands.

13The Lord will march out like a champion,

like a warrior he will stir up his zeal;

with a shout he will raise the battle cry

and will triumph over his enemies.

Muslims say that Jews were living in Medina near Sela Mountain because they read this prophecy and they knew that a prophet is comming that’s why when ever they fought with Banu kurayza they use to say our time is near prophet is comming he will fought with us against you

But Jews and Christians Claim that the word is Adonai (Jewish God) if they assume that this is prophecy of Muhammad then this will make him God in reply Muslim Scholars say that Jews edited the word to Adonai (Jewish God) after disbelieving in Muhammad Because they were Jealous according to Muslims Because they thought That the last Prophet will also come from Israelites but because Muhammad was ishmaelite so they that’s why Edited that word in Adonai (Jewish God) Later.
