Victory at Battle of Badr
On the 17th of Ramadan, during the second year of Hijra, the Prophet Muhammed (SAW) and His companions set out to fight their first battle against the Meccans. The believers at the time were significantly outnumbered by the enemy. Allah SWT sent down angels to aid the Muslims during the battle. Thus resulting in victory. It was also in this war that Abu Jahl, the enemy of the Prophet (PBUH), was killed.
“Allah helped you at Badr when you were very weak. Be mindful of Allah, so that you may be grateful” (3:123)
Badr became the defining moment in early Islamic history.
victory is not except from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise” Quran 3:126.
The Battle of Badr is also significant as it teaches not to undermine the faith and devotion towards Allah. It shows that the power of God is endless, and weapons and a large army become useless if there is no support from Allah. It is believed that for this battle, Allah sent angels from Heaven to help the Muslims.
Re“Yes, if you remain patient and conscious of Allah and the enemy come upon you [attacking] in rage, your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand angels having marks [of distinction]” Quran 3:125
Till date, the Battle of Badr holds great importance among the Muslim community and continues to be highly relevant in the Islamic culture....
