Secondly, the reasons and motives behind why the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) took the steps he did which led to the first battle in Islam will also be mentioned.

4. Introduction At the time of the battle, Arabia was sparsely populated by a number of Arabic-speaking peoples. Some were Bedouin ; pastoral nomads organized in tribes; some were agriculturalists living either in oases in the north or in the more fertile and thickly settled areas to the south (now Yemen and Oman ). The majority of Arabs were adherents of numerous polytheistic religions . The battle of Badr however was the first large-scale engagement between the two forces. Remembering Battle of Badr - The Greatest Battle of Islam where 313 men (Muslims) vs 1000 men ( infidels).

5. Muhammad ( p.b.u.h ) Muhammad was born in Mecca around 570 C.E. into the Banu Hashim clan of the Quraish tribe . When he was about forty years old, he is said to have experienced a divine revelation while he was meditating in a cave outside Mecca. He began to preach to his kinfolk first privately and then publicly. Response to his preaching both attracted followers and antagonized others. During this period Muhammad was protected by his uncle Abu Talib. When his uncle died in 619, the leadership of the Banu Hashim passed to one of Muhammad's enemies, 'Amr ibn Hisham, who withdrew the protection and stepped up persecution of the Muslim community. In 622, with open acts of violence being committed against the Muslims by their fellow Quraishi tribesmen, Muhammad and many of his followers fled to the neighboring city of Medina. This migration is called the Hijra and marked the beginning of Muhammad's reign as both a political as well as a religious leader .

9. Reasons of the battle. Makkan tribe (Quraysh) vs Muslims in Medina Quraysh tribe had always been very unfriendly towards the prophet, popularity of Islam irritated them and started considering Muslims as a serious threat. Quraysh tried to join hands with Jews, hypocrites and even people who lived between Makkah and medina to stand against Muslims. Due to there ill-behavior against newly born faith, Prophet and his companions had to migrate towards medina.

10. Reasons of the battle. Thread to Abu Sufyan’s caravan. Raids on Quraysh caravans. The jealousy of the Jews and Hypocrites of Madinah.

11. Allah permission to fight Allah revealed verses of the Qur'an giving permission to the Muslims to fight the disbelievers. Now the Muslims had the support of the Ansar, they had a place where Islam prevailed and where they could retreat. It was an appropriate time for Jihad. After the extreme and prolong attitude of Makkans Allah allow his prophet to retaliate but in self-defense, because Islam seeks peace. "Permission to fight is given to those (i.e. believers against those disbelievers), who are fighting them, (and) because they (believers) have been wronged, and surely Allah is Able to give them (believers) victory." [(22): 39)]

12. Allah permission to fight "Permission to fight is given to those (i.e. believers against those disbelievers), who are fighting them, (and) because they (believers) have been wronged, and surely Allah is Able to give them (believers) victory." [(22): 39)].

13. The policy of deterrence or preventing something to happen The state of war was between two cities The main strength of Quraysh was their trade, so Rasulallah directed his companions to attack caravans passing through route of madina to bring an economic pressure on the tribe. Among one of the raids by muslims Amr Bin Hadrami was killed a guard of the caravan which gave an excuse to Makkans to revolt against muslims .

14. On an other occasion caravan of Abu Sufyan was to be attack ,one of the worst enemy of Islam, the intentions were to use this event as a bait to bring Makkans to battle. Abu Sufyan sends a call for help to makka. On early realization Abu Sufyan changed course. As soon as Abu Sufyan got his caravan safely away from the Muslims, he sent another message to Makkah that they were safe and no longer required assistance. But it was to late. Abu Jahl was looking for an excuse to attack the Muslims. He had been making preparations for almost a year, thus he was not prepared to turn back after receiving the message from Abu Sufyan.

15. He marched towards Madinah with an army of 1000 men , 700 camels and 300 horses . Abu Jahl's men were well trained and well armed with spears , swords, bows and arrows, and shields . ABU JAHL

16. On hearing the news that the Kuffaar (infidels) of Makkah had left with 1000 men to destroy the Muslims, Rasulullah  made ( consultation ) with the sahaba (Companions) at Masji d -Nabawi in Madinah. Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (R.A.), Hazrat Umar (R.A.) from Muhajireen and Hazrat Saad bin Mu'az from the Ansar and the rest of the Muslims showed their willingness and desire to defend Islam against falsehood.

17. When Rasulullah  was satisfied with the decision, he began preparations for the defence of Islam. Rasulullah  left Madinah with 313 men including some teenage boys . They only had: 3 horses, 70 camels and a few swords .

18. OUTCOMES / RESULTS Although the Battle of Badr was little more than a civil skirmish, it signaled the beginning of the Islamic expansion. The Prophet Muhammad himself died in 632. Over the next 120 years, however, his followers would go on to take not only Makkah and the Arabian Peninsula, but lands from Spain in the west to the borders of China and  India  in the east. It was one of the most impressive conquests the world has ever seen, and continues to impact geopolitics to this day - and it all started at the Battle of Badr.

19. OUTCOMES / RESULTS Courage and determination Increased the stature and reputation of the Prophet and his companions. Strong and firm faith in the help of Allah

20. CONCLUSION The conditions due to which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had to leave Makkah for Madinah concluded in a war. The chiefs of Makkah were the instigators and responsible for this. They were determined to wage war against him, and indeed generally against Islam. In such a scenario, the opposition who would be in a natural state of mind would not just sit back and relax.

21. CONCLUSION In this case, the opposition were the Muslims, who had to resort to military, political and economic measures in self-defense. The hostile attitude of the enemies – the Makkans – led the Muslims to build up their military strength. The battle of  Badr  took place in consequence. This battle was enforced on the Muslims as an expected result of long continuous enmity.

22. CONCLUSION In reality, it was because of the battle of Badr that Islam emerged as a state and a recognized power. The significance of the battle of  Badr  was excellently summed up by a western scholar: “Before  Badr , Islam was a mere religion; after it became the state-religion or more truly a State in itself.”
