Participants of which battle were given the highest rewards by Allah (SWT)?

Allah (SWT) granted the highest rewards to the participants of this battle, and they are given a special status among the Sahabah (companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ). The victory at Badr was a turning point for the Muslims, despite being greatly outnumbered by the Quraish army.

Key highlights:

• Battle: Badr


• Date: 17th Ramadan, 2 AH


• Muslim army: Around 313


• Quraish army: Over 1000


• Reward: Allah forgave the sins of all participants and promised them Paradise

In a famous Hadith, the Prophet (PBUH) said regarding the people of Badr:

“Perhaps Allah has looked at the people of Badr and said, ‘Do whatever you like, for I have forgiven you.’” (Bukhari & Muslim)

This shows the unmatched spiritual rank of the Badr companions. Their bravery, faith, and sacrifice were deeply honored by Allah (SWT) and His Messenger (PBUH).
