Let us remember the Ahl Badr RadhiAllahu anhum, our heroic brothers from the Muhajireen and Ansar who fought the first Islamic battle against falsehood on the 17th day of Ramadhan in the 2 A.H. Previous posts provide information, a quiz, with answers, an account of our trip there this time last year and links to informative sites.
The green area indicates the site of the actual battle and the Martyrs’ graves, the fuschia dot marks Masjid Arish, the place where our Beloved Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam made Du’a.
Allah Ta’ala honoured these heroes of truth RadhiAllahu anhum with the highest distinction, may we benefit through them as many stories attest to, Ameen.
O Allah! O The Ever-Living, O the Self-Existing by Whom all subsist,
O The Responder, O The Giver, O The Loving One,
O The Reckoner, O The Knower of mysteries,
O The Creator of night and day.
I beg of you for the sake of Your Most Beautiful Names
and the mystery of the Glorious Qur’an,
and for the sake of Your Chosen Prophet Muhammad,
on him be the choicest blessings and complete peace,
and for the sake of the noble warriors of the Battle of Badr,
that You help the religion of Islam and fulfill all our needs
O The Most Merciful of those who show mercy.
All good is from Allah Ta’ala whereas mistakes are from this humble speck. May Allah Ta’ala Bless all readers, bringing you all closer to Him and His Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam. May He accept our humble efforts and grant us the capacity to be good and do good. Ameen.
Aunty Noor!
As salamu alaykum wa rahmatulLah.
Please keep me in your duas in this blessed month, in the most blessed of cities (upon its Master salutations and peace). And may Allah Most High figure us our sins and give us tawfiq by the greatness of ahl al-Badr.

Wa ‘alaikumus Salam Dear t…the site I linked to last year commemorating the Battle of Badr is not longer, Alhumdulillah you downloaded the publication then as many did. I am finding the pace time is marching quite scary. May Allah Ta’ala’s extra favours upon us this month help us boost our Iman, Ameen. S very much on my lips.
Your words always bring such a smile to the heart Dear Irving Darvish. May the rewards accrue in your account for all the kindness you spread to others.
Wassalamu alaikum
