In the beginning, Muslims were weak and oppressed and could not resist the infidels, so patience was encouraged. Jihad and fighting were allowed after the migration to Madinah. In verse 23 of Surah Al-Hajj, Allah says:
"The call to prayer (jihad) was given to these people because they were wronged."

| The Battle of Badr | Story, History, Significance, Facts, Hadiths |
After the migration to Madinah, Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and his Companions (may God bless him and grant him peace) were protected from the tortures and sufferings of the Quraysh of Makkah, and in Madinah, Islam began to grow twofold during the day and fourfold during the night. The infidels of Makkah did not like the fact that the Muslims had peace and quiet. Therefore, they were greatly saddened and shocked by this and worried that if the Muslims gained stability in Madinah, they would join the surrounding tribes and close the Syrian highway of the Quraysh to Makkah and the Quraysh's road to Makkah. Livelihood and movement will be under the influence of Muslims. Therefore, Quraysh of Makkah started a conspiracy with other tribes on one side and on the other side they started inciting the Jews and hypocrites living in Madinah against the Muslims, which resulted in the Battle of Badr.
Battle of Badr (Ramadan Mubarak 2 Hijri according to March 233):
In Surah Al-Imran, verse 123 of the Holy Quran, Almighty says:
"Allah has helped you in Badr and you were really weak."
From the migration to Madinah, Hazrat Muhammad ï·º and his Companions (RA) continued to endure suffering. Jihad and fighting had not yet been ordered by Allah Ta'ala. After the migration to Madinah, when the community of the Islamic state was formed, Allah Almighty ordered the Muslims to fight for the defense of this state. As a result, Battle of Badr was defeated.
Reasons for the Battle of Badr:
1) Conspiracy of Quraish:
The Quraish were plotting against the Makkah Muslims. He wrote a letter to the leader of the hypocrites Abdullah bin Abi and his companions in Madinah saying:
"You have brought our enemy to your city. Now it is necessary to fight him or drive him out of there, otherwise we have eaten you and we will all be thin. We will slaughter your men and seize your women." They will do it.” (Sunan Abi Dawudj 2)
Abdullah bin Abi Quraish could not reach this conspiracy of Makkah. The Quraish then wrote letters to the Jews of Madinah in which they tried to incite hatred against the Muslims. Jews already had a soft spot for Mecca, the infidels against Muslims.
2) Protecting the Kaaba in Danger:
The Quraysh of Makkah considered themselves the protectors and guardians of the House of Allah. He used to get many benefits from the guardianship and guardianship of Bait Ult. Financial benefits were obtained especially in the days of In addition, they traded without risk throughout Arabia. Someone used to look at us with raised eyes towards them.
Because of this, the infidels of Makkah were in danger that if the religion of Islam was promoted, this position would be taken away from them and they would be deprived of all the benefits that they were getting. Therefore, the infidels of Makkah thought that why not we advance and defeat the Muslims, losing the benefits.
3) Trade Routes at Risk:
The economy of the disbelievers in Mecca depended on their trade. Their trade was mostly from the country of Syria. The road to Syria passed near Medina. Quraysh Makkah faced a threat that if the Muslims gained dominance and the Muslims became powerful, then they would have to bow down to the Muslims and there would be a fear of loss in their trade. Therefore, the infidels of Makkah decided to contact the surrounding tribes to support the Quraish of Makkah and think of these plans.
They wondered how to subjugate the Muslims religiously and politically, and when the Sahabah, may Allah be pleased with them, started stopping the trade caravans of the infidels from Mecca, the enmity increased.
4) Pasture of Medina:
One of the Quraish leaders of Makkah, Kurz bin Jabir al-Famari, attacked a pasture located between Makkah and Madinah and captured the Prophet's cattle from here. This was a challenge for the Muslims. The Muslims pursued him but he escaped. This created the idea of safety among the Muslims and they became alert for the future.
5) Killing of Amr Ibn al-Hasrami:
In the 2nd Hijri month of Rajab, Hazrat Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam sent a group of twelve men under the leadership of Hazrat Abdullah bin Bakhsh to Wadi Nakhla and gave a letter to Hazrat Abdullah bin Bakhsh and told him to open it after two days. When it was opened two days later, it instructed them to keep an eye on the movement of unbelievers in Makkah in the Nakhla Valley, which lies between Taif and Makkah. There was a caravan going back to Makkah from Syria. Along with them was the wealth of trade. This squad had a clash with them, as a result of which one of their nobles, Amr Bin Khasrami, was killed and two men were captured. The Muslims reached Medina with a lot of Maly Ganimat (money).
Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH), the last prophet, peace be upon him and his family and companions, was very shocked when he came to know about this incident and said:
"I didn't ask you to fight."
This incident took place on the first day of the month of Rajab 2 Hijri, in which fighting was prohibited. Therefore, the Quraish of Makkah became enraged and the heirs of the deceased also instigated to attack Madinah.
6) Immediate Reason for Abu Sufyan's Caravan:
Quraysh Mecca was a target of Muslims from the beginning and they wanted to attack Madinah Munawara on the pretext of trickery. After the killing of Amr bin Al-Hadrami, the revenge action was intensified. Abu Sufyan was returning from Malik Syria with a trade caravan when a rumor spread that the Muslims of Medina would try to intercept the caravan. Since most of the chiefs of Makkah were invested in the wealth of this trade caravan. So everyone unanimously prepared an army led by Utbah bin Rabiyyah. It moved towards the place of Shukar Badr.
The Story of Battle of Badr:
When Hazrat Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) heard about the arrival of the infidels of Makkah, he gathered his followers and consulted. Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (RA) and Hazrat Umar (RA) expressed their condolences. When he inquired further, Hazrat Saad bin Ubadah (RA) from the Ansar, who belonged to the tribe of Khazraj, stood up and said.
"Do you mean us? By Allah, if you order us to jump into the sea, we will jump."
Another Ansari companion Hazrat Muqdad said:
“Ya Rasulullah! We are not like the people of Moses."
In verse 24 of Surah al-Ma'idah, Allah says:
“Go fight you and your god. We are staying here."
Hearing this, the face of the Prophet of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, shone with joy and happiness. Later formed an army consisting of 313 people of which 60 were emigrants and the rest were Ansar Madinah. No one had full weapons to loot. There were only 7 armors and 8 swords. There were only 70 camels and 2 horses for riding. Who were invited to ride in turn. This small army left Madinah for Badr on the 12th of Ramadan, 2 Hijri. Hazrat Muhammad ï·º captured the springs of Badr with the advice of Hazrat Khabab bin Munzar. In the night there was rain of mercy (rain) which settled the soil and water was collected which was used for ablution etc.
One day before the battle, the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) observed the battlefield and said that tomorrow, God willing, such and such an enemy will be killed in this place and such and such an enemy will be killed in that place. Muslims were feeling tired while suffering. The next day was to collide with vanity. After sleeping well the next day, they were ready to face the enemy.
Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) stayed awake all night. On the 17th of Ramadan, he (pbuh) straightened the ranks of the Muslims and prayed to Allah like this.
"O God! You have promised me, fulfill it. If these servants of yours perish today, then there will be no one to worship you and call your name until the Day of Judgment."
Allah Ta'ala gave the tidings of help and victory from 5 thousand marked angels.
Hazrat Muhammad ï·º forbade the Companions from starting the war. For the Muslims, each was a severe test from Allah that the Muslims' own relatives were before them. But the Muslims did not care about their relationship, but for the sake of the pleasure of Allah, they put aside all blood relations.
In the beginning, individual battles took place according to the Arab constitution. From the disbelievers of Makkah, the brother of Amr bin Hafarmi turned out to be Amir bin Al-Hadrami, who was killed by the slave of Hazrat Umar.
After that, Quraysh left Makkah with his son Shaiba and Waleed. Hazrat Awf, may Allah be pleased with him, Hazrat Muadh may Allah be pleased with him, and Hazrat Abdullah bin Rawahah may Allah be pleased with him, came out from the army of Muslims to fight them. When Utba introduced himself to him, he said that this is not our competition. Send us a copy of our competition. So, on the instructions of the Messenger of Allah, Hazrat Hamza, Hazrat Ali, and Hazrat Ubaidah, Radiyallahu Ta'ala Anhu, went forward, and Utbah said, "Now it is correct." At last Utba was killed by Hazrat Hamza.
After that there was a general fight. The army of the infidels was more than the Muslims. They went ahead reciting poems of ethnic pride with pride. On the contrary, the number of Muslims was very few, but the help and support of Allah was with the Muslims in whom they trusted.
In this battle, the great leaders of Quraish came to work, 70 chieftains of Quraish were killed and only 70 were taken prisoner. 14 Muslim men were martyred, out of which 6 were Muhajirin and 8 were Ansari. Muslims were victorious in this battle. Two Mujahideen reached Medina with the good news of victory. He stayed at Badr for three days and then returned to Medina.
Dealing with the Prisoners of Battle of Badr:
In the battle of Badr, 70 men of the army of the infidels came as prisoners. His uncle Hazrat Abbas (RA) was also included among them. When Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) came to Medina on 22nd of Ramadan, he divided the prisoners of the Battle of Badr among the Companions (RA) and emphasized the rights of the prisoners to the Companions (RA).
He said: "Be kind to them."
This decree of the Prophet (ï·º) had such an effect that the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) contented themselves with dates and fed these prisoners with good food.
Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) asked his relatives for advice about them, and Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (RA) advised that these people are his dear and close relatives. They should be freed by taking fidya. Hazrat Umar (RA) suggested that every Muslim should strike the neck of his relative. Some companions were also in favor of killing. But Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him) accepted Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq's opinion and the ransom of each prisoner was set at four thousand dirhams. Therefore, the people of Makkah freed their loved ones by paying ransom, and those who could not pay the ransom, they gained freedom by teaching ten children of Muslims to read and write.
