The Great Battle of Badr took place on the seventeenth of Ramadhan -two years after the Hijra This
was the first battle that the believers ever engaged in with the disbelievers and it is by far the
Most
it.
Famous and Most Renown -because of the several extraordinary events that occurred during
Beloved Prophet Muhammed ( ) had encouraged the Muslims to oppose the Quraish
caravan which was returning to Makkah from Sham. The Muslims went out with 300 and some soldiers
intending to meet a caravan of about 40 men not intending to fight but only to overpower them The
caravan escaped but Abu Sufyan had already sent word to Quraish to come and protect it The
Quraish marched with enormous army of 1000 men Six Hundred wearing shield-, 100 horses and
700 camels- and luxurious provisions to last for several days. The disbelievers wanted to make this a
victory that would put fear into the hearts of all the Arabs They wanted to crush the Muslims once and
for all and the odds were overwhelmingly in their favor.
Imagine that the believers with their small army (including only 2 horses), going out with the intent of
meeting a mere 40 unarmed man and instead meeting a well- prepared army of *3 times* their size
Beloved Prophet Muhammed ( ) could have easily ordered the believers to fight and
they would not have hesitated to comply But He ( ) wanted to emphasize to his
followers that they should fight out of conviction and Iman and to teach us a lesson in the process.
He gathered his followers to conduct Shura (Consultation) -Many of the Muhajireen ( the Muslims who
emigrated from Meakkaha to Medinah) spoke up using the most eloquent of words to describe their
dedication But there was one of the Sahabah
crowd and said Ya RasulAllah! We will not say to you like Bani Israel said to Musa, Go you and your
Lord and fight we are here sitting and awaiting [Surat al maa'idah] Go by Allahs blessing and we
are with you!
And so the Beloved Prophet Muhammed( ) was very pleased- but in His great wisdom
He waited silently and some among the Muslims knew what He intended- So far only the Muhajiroon
had given their consent- but it was the Ansar (the Muslims who lived in Medinah and welcomed the
Muslims into their city) who had the most to lose in this stake and it was not a part of the pledge that
the Beloved Prophet Muhammed ( ) had taken from the Ansar at Aqabah) for the Ansar
to fight with the Muslims in foreign territory So- the great leader of the Ansar, Sad ibn Muadh
spoke up- Ya RasulAllah! Maybe you mean us?-
proceeded to give a beautiful speech in which he said among many things: O Messenger of
ALLAH we have believed in you and we believe that you are saying the Truth We give you- based
on that our Covenant to listen to and Obey You -by ALLAH the One Who sent you with the Truth
if you were to enter the sea- we would rush into it with you and not one of us would stay behind -May
ALLAH show you in our actions what will satisfy your eyes So march with us- putting our Trust in
ALLAH s Blessings
Beloved Prophet Muhammed ( ) was very pleased by this and said: Forward and be of
cheer- for ALLAH has promised me one of the two (the Caravan or the Battle) and by ALLAH it is as if
I now saw the enemy lying prostrate.
The Muslims marched forward and encamped at the nearest spring of Badr (closest to Medinah which
is north of Makkah) One of the companions Al-Hubab ibn Mundhir
Muhammed ()
Has ALLAH inspired you to choose this very spot or is it stratagem of war and the product of
consultation? The Beloved Prophet Muhammed ( ) said It is the product of stratagem
of war and consultation -So Al-Hubab suggested that the Muslims encamp further south on the nearest
water well make a basin of water for themselves- and destroy the other wells to thereby restrict to
Quraishs access to the water The Beloved Prophet Muhammed ( ) approved of his plan
and carried it out.
Then, Sad ibn Muadh
suggested that a trellis or hut be built for The Beloved Prophet Muhammed(
) as a protection for him and to serve as a headquarters for the army- Beloved Prophet
Muhammed ( ) and Hazrat Abu Bakr as-Siddique [ ] stayed in the hut while
Sad ibn Muadh
)spent the whole nigh preceding the battle in Prayer and Supplication even though He (
)knew that Almighty ALLAH ( ) had promised him Victory It was out of His (
)Love for and Worship and Total Submission to Almighty ALLAH ( ) that he did this And
it was said that this is the highest form of
Completely Dependent and Submissive to which distinguished Him in superiority from Abu Bakr asSiddiq
Unusually that same night- the night when tensions were mounting for one of the Biggest Events in
History the night before the battle that would signify the progress or defeat of Islam instead of being
nervous- worried and unable to sleep the Muslim army enjoyed a sound and refreshing sleep.
That Night was the Night of the 17th of Ramadan- the year 2 A.H - This was a Divine Favor which
Almighty ALLAH ( ) mentioned in the Quran:
(Remember) when HE covered you with a slumber as a security from HIM and HE caused rain to
descend on you from the sky to clean you thereby and to remove from you the Rijz (Whispering- Evil
suggestions- etc of Satan.
And to Strengthen your Hearts and make your Feet firm thereby [8:11]
The Second favor from Almighty ALLAH ()
Almighty ALLAH ( ) sent upon the believers That Very Night The place where the Muslims
were to encamp was made of sandy ground which was hard to walk on becuase ones feet could easily
sink in it Almighty ALLAH ( ) sent the rain to make the ground firm under their feet and sent
the sleep to make their Hearts Firm The next morning- was still Beloved Prophet Muhammed (
) asleep when Quraish was very closely approaching Hazrat Abu Bakr as-Sidique [
] was very hesitant to wake the Noble Messenger ( ) but was forced to do so becuase
Quraish were approahcing quickly.
The Muslims were arranged in ranks When the two parties approached closer and were visible to each
other- Beloved Prophet Muhammed ( ) began supplicating:
O ALLAH! The conceited and haughty Quraishites are already here and defying You and belying Your
Messenger- O ALLAH! -I am waiting for Your victory which You have promised me I beseech You
ALLAH to defeat them He ( ) then gave strict orders that his men would not start
fighting until he gave them his final word.
He recommended that they use their arrows sparingly - and never Resort to Swords unless the enemies
came too close.
The Quraish were tough and arrogant and confident in their superior number- weapons- and provisions
but it is Almighty ALLAH ( ) who would decide the matter:
(O disbelievers) if you ask for a judgment- now has the judgment come unto you and if you cease (to
do wrong) it will be better for you- and If you return (to the attack)- so shall we return- and your
forces will be of no avail to you-however numerous it be- and verily- ALLAH is with the believers. [8:19]
The Battle Began with a confrontation between three men from each side:
Hamza [ ( ] Sayyidun RaslAllh S Uncle) vs Utbah ibn Rabia Imam
Ali [( ] Sayyidun RaslAllh s Cousin) vs Al-Waleed ibn Utbah Ubaidah
ibn al Harith [ ] vs Shaybah ibn Rabia.
In the former two cases Hamza [ ] and Imam Ali [ ] killed their opponentsbut Ubaidah [ ( ] despite killing his opponent) was severely wounded and died about four
or five days later- The fighting intensified- and many more duels broke out In the midst of all of this
-The Beloved Prophet Muhammed ( ) continued to supplicate his Lord.
Hazrat Abu Bakr as-Sidique [ ] witnessed this incessant supplication so He said:
RasullAllah you have cried out enough to your Lord HE will surely fulfill what HE has promised you
Immediate was the response of Almighty ALLAH ( ) -Who sent down Angels/Mallaykat from
the Heavens for the help and assistance of HIS Most Chosen Beloved ()
and
his Companions The Quran marks this Miraculous Occurrence: I will help you with a thousand of
the Angels each behind the other (following one another) in Succession [Quran - 8:9]
The Beloved Prophet Muhammed ( ) in his hut, dozed off a little and then raised his head
joyfully crying and said: O Abu Bakr! Glad Tidings are there for you- ALLAHs Victory has approached
By ALLAH I can see Jibreel on his mare in the thick of a sandstorm.
Then He came out of the hut and exclaimed: Sayuhzamul Jamu wa Yuwwalloonad-Dubur [Qur'an 54:45]
Their multitude will be put to flight- and they will show their backs This is in fact one of the miracles
of the Quran because this verse was revealed in Makkah before any of these events at Badr had taken
place- Hazrat Omar [ ] upon hearing Beloved Prophet Muhammed d (
)proclaim this verse on this occasion said: When this verse was first revealed- I asked Sayyidun
RaslAllh ( ) what it means What Multitude? What Defeat? And Sayyidun RaslAllh
( ) didnt answer me But when I saw him recite it on that occasion I then understood
Then Sayyidun RaslAllh ( ) took a handful of dust and cast it at the enemy and said
: Confusion Seize their faces! As he flung the dust a Violent Sandstorm blew like furnace blast
into the eyes of the enemy About this Almighty ALLAH ( ) says in the Noble Quran:
And You- Muhammad d ( ) threw not when you did throw but ALLAH threw. [8:17]
It was at this point that Beloved Prophet Muhammed ( ) gave orders to launch a full
counter-attack He incited the believers reciting the following verse: And be quick for forgiveness
from your Lord and for Paradise as Wide as are the Heavens and Earth.[3:133]
The Spirit of the Muslims was at it Peak and they fought with the Utmost courage and Bravery severely
wounding the Quraish army killing many of their men and instilling fear in their hearts The Muslims
did not know that ALLAHs help was about to descend upon them They only knew the odds that were
apparent to both sides:
1000 against 300
700 camels against 70 camels,
100 horses against 2,
Many of the disbelievers were killed in this battle the most noteworthy of which was Abu Jahl the
Archenemy of Islam! When Beloved Prophet Muhammed ( ) set out to look at his corpseHe ( ) said: This is the Pharaoh/Firaun of this Nation. And so the Muslims defeated
the disbelievers in a humiliating defeat by the Help of Almighty ALLAH 0- ) )( - Indeed ALLAH
again fulfilled HIS Promise -Their multitude will be put to flight and they will show their backs [
Qur'an -54:45]
The disbelievers, with all their might turned their backs and ran away from the Muslims in Disgrace
and utter Humiliation- ALLAHu Akbar wa lillah al Hamd.

~ Names of Muslim Warriors in the Battle of Badr ~
from Hazrat Ehsan Iqbal Qadri of Colombo Sri Lanka
The Battle of Badr is the most important battle in the whole of human history as it firmly established
Islam as the only true religion for the whole of humanity till the end of time. It took place on 17 Ramadan
2 A.H, 624 C.E. The beloved holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
together with 313 of his Sahaba (Companions) and angels sent by Allah defeated about 1000 better
armed polytheists of the tribe of Quraysh.
We should remind ourselves that Asma Ahl Badr (the names of the Muslim warriors of the Battle of
Badr) are Jalali (Majestic). They need the Jamal (Beauty) of Salawat (Invocation of Blessings) to cool
them. So before we recite these, and after completing the recitation, it is recommended to recite Durood
Shareef 100 times. Or instead, we can recite Qasidah al-Burda. Once we have recited the Salawat, we
can come to the Asma Ahl al-Badr.
Please recite Sayyidinaa before each name and Radi ALLAHu Anhu (Allah is Pleased with Him) after
each name.
Allahumma Agithna ya Giyath al-Mustaghitheen bi Haqqi
