The Battle of Badr

The battle of Badr took place during the second year of Hijrah on the 17th of Ramadhan. This day was named “Youm Al-Furqan” which means the day of destruction, between the good and bad.

The battle was fought in a place called Badar, which is located between Mekah and Madinah.

There were only 313 Muslim soldiers and 1000 Quraishy soldiers. With Allah’s help the Muslims managed to defeat the Musyrikin soldiers.

70 of the Musyrik soldiers were killed including the leaders like Abu Jahal. Another 70 were captured and were allowed to go by paying or teaching reading and writing. 12 Muslims died during the battle. Their death are considered as syahid.
