The Battle of Badr, fought on 17th Ramadan 2 AH, was the first major battle between the Muslims and the Quraysh of Makkah. In this decisive encounter, 70 mushrikeen were killed, including key Quraysh leaders like Abu Jahl, Utbah, Shaybah, and Umayyah ibn Khalaf. On the Muslim side, 14 companions were martyred. The battle is significant as it established the military credibility of the nascent Muslim state in Madina.
The Battle of Badr took place at the wells of Badr, approximately 130 km from Madina. The Muslim army consisted of only 313 men with 2 horses and 70 camels, while the Quraysh army numbered around 1,000 well-equipped soldiers. Despite being heavily outnumbered, the Muslims achieved a decisive victory, which the Quran attributes to divine assistance through angels. The battle is explicitly mentioned in Surah Al-Anfal and Surah Aal-e-Imran.
