On 17th of Ramazan, in a historic display of faith and resilience, the Muslims commemorated the decisive Battle of Badr marking a pivotal moment in Islamic history.
The battle occurring in the 2nd Hijri on Friday, symbolizes the unwavering commitment of 313 companions of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) towards their faith.
Among the companions, 60 were immigrants (Muhajirin) who had left their homes and belongings behind to follow the Prophet Peace Be Upon Him, while the rest were native residents (Ansar) of Madina. Despite being vastly outnumbered and under-equipped, their resolve remained unshaken.
During the battle, 14 Muslims, including 6 immigrants and 8 locals, sacrificed their lives defending the nascent Muslim community. However, their valor was not in vain as 70 non-Muslim adversaries fell, despite their superior numbers and weaponry.
