The Battle of Badr was the first major battle in Islamic history, fought on the 17th of Ramadan in the second year of Hijrah (624 CE). It was a turning point for the early Muslim community in Medina, led by Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), against the Quraysh of Makkah. Despite being outnumbered, the Muslims achieved a decisive victory due to their strong faith, unity, and divine support.

According to authentic Islamic sources, 70 non-Muslims (Kufars) from the Quraysh army were killed during the battle. This number is widely accepted in Islamic history and is mentioned in various books of Seerah and Hadith. Among those killed were several key leaders of the Quraysh, including Abu Jahl, who was one of the fiercest opponents of Islam.

The victory at Badr boosted the morale of the Muslim community and proved that faith and righteousness could overcome numerical and material disadvantages. It also marked the beginning of the decline of Quraysh dominance in the region.
