The Battle of Badr

Compiled by: Syed Ali Shahbaz
On 17th of the Islamic month of Ramadhan in 2AH, the pagan Arabs imposed the first ever armed encounter upon Prophet Mohammad (SAWA), at a well called Badr, some distance from Medina, but thanks to divine support, the poorly armed group of 313 Muslims emerged victorious over the fully equipped almost 1000-strong armed-to-the teeth Arabs.
For the first time, the Prophet's young cousin and defender, Imam Ali (AS), displayed his brilliant swordsmanship by killing several famous Arab pagan warriors.
