Seerah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

Before the swords clashed at Badr, three men stepped forward to face three of Quraysh's champions in a duel that would open one of the most pivotal battles in Islamic history. Hamza, Ali, and Ubaydah ibn al-Harith stood against Shaybah, Utbah, and Al-Walid; and the encounter ended with both swift victory and painful sacrifice. Ubaydah ibn al-Harith fell that day, bleeding severely, yet spent his final moments reciting poetry in defence of the Prophet ﷺ.

The episode also covers the Prophet ﷺ spending the battle in his tent, raising his hands to Allah to the point where his garment fell from his shoulders, and Abu Bakr's emotional response beside him. Allah's answer came; angels descending, fear placed in the hearts of Quraysh, and victory granted to a small group of believers who had placed their complete trust in Allah. The episode closes with a powerful reminder that victory always belongs to those who hold firm to their faith, no matter how impossible the odds may look.

War was never the plan.
So how did the situation change so quickly?

The Muslims left Madinah intending to intercept a caravan. But once the caravan escaped, new information reached both sides, and the direction of events shifted.

In episode 76 of the Seerah, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains how matters developed as Quraysh continued advancing toward Badr. Their numbers, leadership, and intentions become clear, as does why some tribes chose to turn back while others pressed on.

The episode also follows the decisions made by the Prophet ﷺ as the reality of a battle became unavoidable. Consultation takes place, different opinions are voiced, and firm commitments are given by the companions, especially as responsibility settles on those who would bear the greatest cost.

You’ll learn how the Muslims prepared on the ground, how information was gathered, how positions were chosen near the wells of Badr, and how Allah supported them through the night with calm, rest, and stability.

The Prophet ﷺ spends the night in duʿa, while the army prepares for what lies ahead.

The battle has not begun yet.
But everything needed for it is now in place.

The journey to Badr didn’t begin with a battlefield. It began with small moments that tested the companions one by one.

Some were told to return, others tried to stay hidden, and lessons were given on the road that shaped the mindset of the entire group.

What seemed like a simple march became a series of decisions that revealed what each person carried in their heart.

Meanwhile in Makkah, a sudden wave of news moved through the city and forced Quraysh to react. What they chose next set both sides on a path neither could step away from.

Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains how these moments built the lead-up to Badr and why they changed the direction of the story.

The clash hasn’t begun yet, but the turning point is close.

A caravan returning from Sham set the stage for the first major battle in Islam. In this episode, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains how a simple attempt to intercept Quraysh’s wealth became Yawm al-Furqan, the day Allah separated truth from falsehood.

He covers the precise date of Badr (Friday, 17 Ramadan, 2 AH), why the Prophet ﷺ left Madinah without calling for a full mobilisation, and how a small group of Sahabah was chosen for a test they never expected. You’ll also hear why the people of Badr were given a unique status, along with early incidents that showed Allah’s support for them.

This session establishes the cause and context of Badr before the military details continue in the next episode.
