And do not be like those who came forth from their homes insolently (arrogantly) and to be seen by people and avert [them] from the way of Allah. And Allah is encompassing of what they do. And [remember] when Satan made their deeds pleasing to them and said, "No one can overcome you today from among the people, and indeed, I am your protector." But when the two armies sighted each other, he turned on his heels and said, "Indeed, I am disassociated from you. Indeed, I see what you do not see; indeed I fear Allah. And Allah is severe in penalty." Al-Anfaal 8:47-48 The Battle of Badr The state of the Mushrik army الأنفال

As your Lord caused you (O Muhammad) to go out from your home with the truth; and verily, a party among the believers disliked it, Disputing with you concerning the truth after it was made manifest, as if they were being driven to death, while they were looking (at it). And (remember) when Allah promised you (Muslims) one of the two parties (of the enemy i.e. either the army or the caravan) that it should be yours; you wished that the one not armed (the caravan) should be yours, but Allah willed to justify the truth by His Words and to cut off the roots of the disbelievers. That He might cause the truth to triumph and bring falsehood to nothing, even though the Mujrimun (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, criminals) hate it. الأنفال The Battle of Badr The hesitation in part of the Muslim army

The Consultation with the Companions – Al-Muhajiroon – Al-Ansaar عن ابن مسعود :‏ ‏ ‏ شهدت من ‏ ‏ المقداد بن الأسود ‏ ‏ مشهدا لأن أكون صاحبه أحب إلي مما عدل به ‏ ‏ أتى النبي ‏ ‏ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ ‏ وهو يدعو على المشركين فقال لا نقول كما قال قوم ‏ ‏ موسى ‏ اذهب أنت وربك فقاتلا ‏ ‏ ولكنا نقاتل عن يمينك وعن شمالك وبين يديك وخلفك فرأيت النبي ‏ ‏ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ ‏ أشرق وجهه وسره ‏ ‏ يعني قوله ‏ ( البخاري ) The Battle of Badr

The Muslim army advances to Badr – Scouting: “we are from water” – Intelligence gathering: “how many camels do they eat every day?” The Battle of Badr

When ye were on the near bank (of the valley) and they were on the yonder bank, and the caravan was below you (on the coast plain). And had you tried to meet one another you surely would have failed to keep the tryst, but (it happened, as it did, without the forethought of either of you) that Allah might conclude a thing that must be done; that he who perished (on that day) might perish by a clear proof (of His Sovereignty) and he who survived might survive by a clear proof (of His Sovereignty). Lo! Allah in truth is Hearer, Knower. Al-Anfaal 8:42 The Battle of Badr الأنفال

When Allah showed them unto you (O Muhammad) in thy dream as few in number, and if He had shown them to you as many, you (Muslims) would have faltered and would have quarreled over the affair. But Allah saved (you). Lo! He knows what is in the breasts (hearts of men). Al-Anfaal 8:43 The Battle of Badr الأنفال

when He covered you with a slumber as a security from Him, and He caused water (rain) to descend on you from the sky, to clean you thereby and to remove from you the Rijz (whispering, evil-suggestions) of Shaitan (Satan), and to strengthen your hearts, and make your feet firm thereby.

(Remember) when you sought help of your Lord and He answered you (saying): "I will help you with a thousand of the angels in succession (following one another).“ Allah made it only as glad tidings, and that your hearts be at rest therewith. And there is no victory except from Allah. Verily, Allah is All-Mighty, All- Wise. Al-Anfaal 8:9-10 The Battle of Badr الأنفال

O Prophet, urge the believers to battle. If there are among you twenty [who are] steadfast, they will overcome two hundred. And if there are among you one hundred [who are] steadfast, they will overcome a thousand of those who have disbelieved because they are a people who do not understand.

These two contrary kinds of man have become engrossed in contention about their Sustainer! But [thus it is:] as for those who are bent on denying the truth – garments of fire shall be cut out for them [in the life to come]; boiling liquid will be poured over their heads, causing all that is within their bodies, as well as the skins, to melt away. And they shall be held by iron grips; and every time they try in their anguish to come out of it, they shall be returned thereto and [be told]: "Taste suffering through fire [to the full]!" [As against this,] behold, God will admit those who attain to faith and do righteous deeds into gardens through which running waters flow, wherein they will be adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls, and where silk will be their raiment: for they were [willing to be] guided towards the best of all tenets, and so they were guided onto the way that leads to the One unto whom all praise is due. Al-Hajj 22:19-24 The Battle of Badr الحج

God had helped you at Badr, when you were a contemptible little force; then fear God; thus May ye show your gratitude. When you (Muhammad) said unto the believers: Is it not sufficient for you that your Lord should support you with three thousand angels sent down (to your help) ? Nay, but if you persevere, and keep from evil, and (the enemy) attack you suddenly, your Lord will help you with five thousand angels sweeping on. Allah ordained this only as a message of good cheer for you, and that thereby your hearts might be at rest, Victory comes only from Allah, the Mighty, the Wise. Al Umran 3: The Battle of Badr آل عمران

When thy Lord inspired the angels, (saying): I am with you. So make those who believe stand firm. I will throw fear into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Then strike above the necks and strike each of their fingers. That is because they opposed Allah and His messenger. Whoso opposes Allah and His messenger, Allah is severe in punishment.

Hast thou not seen those who gave the grace of Allah in exchange for thanklessness and led their people down to the Abode of Loss, Hell – which they [themselves] will have to endure? And how vile a state to settle in! And they set up rivals to Allah that they may mislead (men) from His way. Say: Enjoy life (while ye may) for lo! your journey’s end will be the Fire.
