Explanation

The total number of Muslims in the Battle of Badr was 313, which included 82 Muhajirun and 231 Ansar. The Muhajirun were the companions who had migrated from Makkah to Madinah, while the Ansar were the local Muslims of Madinah. This was the first major battle in which the Muhajirun and Ansar fought together, and Allah (SWT) granted the Muslims a magnificent victory.

The Battle of Badr was fought in 2 AH on the 17th of Ramadan. The Muslims had only 70 camels, 2 horses, and limited weaponry, while the disbelievers of Makkah numbered around 1000 and were better armed. Despite this, with Allah's help, the Muslims achieved a decisive victory in which 70 disbelievers, including Abu Jahl, were killed and 70 were taken captive.
