As the blessed month of Ramadan passes the halfway mark, Muslims across the world will commemorate the 17th of Ramadan as a significant day on the Islamic calendar.
In the year 2AH, three hundred and thirteen Muslims led by Nabi Muhammad (SAW) lined-up against a thousand well-equipped disbelievers from Makkah in the battle of Badr.
The clash has been described as the day of Yawmul Furqan, the day where truth was distinguished from falsehood.
Renowned Islamic scholar Ml Sulaimaan Ravat says there were a number of miracles during the battle.
“When the battle was about to start, Nabi (SAW) came and he took some sand and he threw it in the directions of the enemy and how much of dust or sand can fit into the palm of one man. Yet when Nabi (SAW) threw it, by a miracle, that dust hit and penetrated the eyes, the noses and mouths of every single person of the thousand army of the Quraish that left Makkah. It made them lose orientation, they became disillusioned, they became perplexed, confused.”
The Muslims won the battle with 14 Sahaba (RA) being martyred while 70 non-believers were killed, but had they lost, scholars say, the deen of Islam would have been extinguished forever.
