#RamadanDailyDigest: Names of The 313 Muslims Who Fought Battle Of Badr

Ramadan Daily Digest bounces back after a few days break to highlight another beautiful topic for all Muslims to learn from in this holy month of Ramadan as the fast clocks Day 18 today, with a focus on the names of the 313 Muslims who fought the Battle of Badr.

In order to a lay a foundation for this topic of the names of the 313 Muslims who fought the Battle of Badr, it is important to know what the Battle of Badr was all about. It cannot be overemphasised that the backbone of being a complete Muslim is an insatiable hunger to seek knowledge. Therefore, a little knowledge about the Battle of Badr will afford every Muslim to understand some historical accounts of the religion of Islaam and the work Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did to preach Islam all over the world, despite the initial resistance from his own people in Makkah, in modern day Saudi Arabia.

The Battle of Badr is the first main conflict the disbelievers in Makkah had with the Muslims, after the latter migrated from Makkah to Madinah (former name was Yathreeb), a city also in modern day Saudi Arabia. The Battle of Badr was a confrontational assault by the disbelievers on the peaceful Muslims, who found a new life in Madinah after leaving all their wealth, families and properties, following severe persecution in Makkah.

Even after the Muslims left Makkah, the disbelievers went after them, and planned annihilating them and the religion of Islaam (same as Islam). While the disbelievers raised no fewer than 1,000 men, the Muslims had 313 men including the Prophet of Allaah himself in order to ensure that the light of the religion of Islam was not put off.

The name 'Badr' was the location the Battle of Badr was fought. Badr is located in Madinah, Saudi Arabia. Historical report has it that the Battle of Badr took place on the 17th day of the month Ramadan, 2AH, which is equivalent to March, 624AD. In the Battle of Badr, so many disbelievers were killed, while some were taken as prisoners of war.

The Battle of Badr

One of the miraculous things about the Battle of Badr was that Almighty Allaah ordered His Angels to descend from the heavens to support the Muslims, as accounted in some verses in Suuratu Al Imran (chapter 3) of the Glorious Qur'an. 

The Muslims won the Battle of Badr, which was vital at further strengthening the bond of Islam among all Muslims in Madinah and the continuous propagation of Islam in subsequent years.
