Summary

On March 17, 624 CE, Islam’s early days were marked by the Battle of Badr. Muhammad PBUH led the Muslims of Medina to victory, while Abu Jahl led the Meccans.

Before the battle, both sides engaged in a series of skirmishes and raids, and tensions had been high between the two groups for some time. Despite their larger numbers and better equipment, the Meccans were determined to put an end to the Muslim threat.

There were around 313 Muslims and about 1,000 Meccans in the valley of Badr, so the two armies clashed. Muslim leaders were killed and many others were taken prisoner despite being vastly outnumbered by the Meccans.

As a result of the victory at Badr, the Muslims proved that they were capable of defending themselves against the Meccans. Their morale was also boosted and they became more united and purposeful as a result.

Muslims around the world commemorate the Battle of Badr each year as a significant event in the history of Islam.
