Ramadan 17-The day of Badr war-The very first war of Islam

The Badr war was the very first battle held between the muslims and Kafirs. It was the very first year that fasting (swaum) was made mandatory for muslims in the month of Radaman and so all sahaba kiram were facing lot of troubles to fast, as they din’t have nice foods to eat during sahar, as they left all their wealth in Makkah al mukarrama, and came to Madinah Al munawwara with Rasulullah saws…

There were only 313 sahabas to fight against the big gang of Abi sufyan who came with around 1000 people. Though very less in number the sahabas were having a very strong faith in Allah, and stood firm to fight against that big cabal. The two troops met at a place called Badhar. Muslims were standing on soil and kafirs in a nice strong holded place, but Allah jal… made to pour a heavy rain that night and Muslims place became stronghold and that of kaafirs was moistured.

Next morning the war started, and Hazrat Sa’ad bin Abi waqas radiyallah ta’ala anhu was the first in the Islamic history to start a jihad against Kafirs. When He sent an Arrow towards the Kaafirs, asking Rasulullah saws to witness this before Allah jal.. on the day of  judgement, Prophet said, “Oh.. My sa’ad, My Father and Mother be sacrificed upon you. Ya Allah..!! make sa’ad Mustajab ad Du’aa”.

The battle went rigorously and as Allah jal.. says in Holy Qur’aan, Hazrat Jibra’il alaihis salaam was sent down to the earth with 3000 Mala’iks. They were also given a Sword of Hell with the Instruction as to Beat those useless kafirs in their back, and Joints, says Holy Qur’aan Sharif.

With the help of Hazrat Jibraeel and bravery of Fearless Sahaabaas, allmost all kaafirs were killed and some were captured. Hazrat Umar radiyallah suggested to kill those imprisoned Kaafirs if they are not willing to accept Islam. After serious discussion Hadrat Rasoolullah sallalahu alaihi wa swallam decided to get Jizyah (War prisoner’s fine) and leave them off. But Allah jal.. wished Hazrat Umar’s suggestion.

All great foes of Islam like Abujahal, Ataba, Shaiba,Umaiyya bin Khalf etc., where sent to hell. Then Hazrat Rasulullah saws, the King of Badhr came near the mortal remains of those kaafirs which were put into a well, and asked “We received, what our God, promised us.. Have you received what your gods have promised you..?” Seeing this, Some Sahabaas asked “Ya Rasulullah.. they are all dead and You are talking to the dead bodies.. Will they hear You?”

Allah’s prophet replied, “They will hear very well than you…” (Dead, are not dead. but they are taken from this world to the next. They will see and hear all in this world).

In this rigorous war, 7 Holy sahabas attained Martyrdom becoming first shuhadaas of Islam.

The kaafirs who came from Makkah, to ruin muslims went back with a huge loss. Had muslims been defeated in Badr, there would have been no Islam in this world.

 The significance of Rasulullah saws and 313 Badr shabaas is found in various  religious books like The Baranabas’ Biblical version (Original Old testement of Bible), The Bhavishya puranam, The Atharavana veda and in the sayings of Buddha.
