“And Allah had already given you victory at Badr when you were few in number...” - Surah Al-Imran 3:123

| (Fourteen Martyrs of Badr) |
Activity: Madinah - Makrakah Badar Tour
Hotel: Emaar Elite Hotel Madinah
Today we travelled about 150 km southwest of Madinah to Badr, a journey of nearly two hours by bus. Now a place of pilgrimage, Badr holds immense historical and spiritual significance, marked by sites such as the battlefield, the Martyrs’ Cemetery, and the Badr Museum.
Standing on the Battleground of Badr, we were reminded of how a small Muslim force overcame a much larger Quraysh army, an event the Qur’an calls Yawm al-Furqan, the day that distinguished truth from falsehood.
We visited the Martyrs’ Cemetery, where the fourteen honoured martyrs of Badr rest, and nearby landmarks including the Muslim Command Centre at Areesh Mosque, Al-Adwa Al-Dunya, Al-Adwa Al-Aqsa, and Jabal al-Malaikah, believed to be where angels descended to aid the believers.
We also collected water from the historic healing wells Bir Rawha and Bir Syifa located on the outskirt of Badr.
After a hearty lunch of fried fish and prawns at Ayed Fish Restaurant, we performed our jamak prayers at Bilal bin Rabah Mosque before returning to Madinah.
We arrived after Maghrib, physically tired but spiritually full. I prayed in the room while hubby made his way to Masjid Nabawi's rooftop.
Before sleep took over, I reflect on the Battle of Badr. A quiet reminder that strength does not lie in numbers, but in faith, sincerity, and trust in Allah.
