The Battle of Badr is the most significant battle in Islamic history, and those who participated in it are regarded as superior to the Companions (Sahaba) of later years. Islamic scholars have stated that the participants of Badr hold a higher status than later Companions because they struggled with their lives and wealth during Islam’s most challenging times. They are known as the “Companions of Badr” (Ashab-ı Badr) and have always held a unique and distinguished position.
During Umrah visit, it is highly recommended to stop by Badr when traveling between Meakkah and Madinah via the highway. However, we decided to raise the bar a little higher by planning a more comprehensive day trip to Badr—departing from Medina after Fajr prayer and spending the day there.
This way, we will have the opportunity to visit:
Bir Al-Rawhah (Rowhah), the blessed well where the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) mixed his noble saliva, sweetening its healing water.
The Hill of Angels (Jabal al-Mala’ika), where the angels descended during the Battle of Badr.
Al-Arish Mosque, built on the site where the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) tent was pitched.
The battlefield of Badr that will grant you the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of the blessed Companions of Badr ( Ashab e Badr)
Afterwards, we will visit:
The Cemetery of the Martyrs of Badr, where the noble Companions who fell in the battle are buried.
The mud-brick houses of the Sahaba (may Allah be pleased with them), allowing us to deeply immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of 1,400 years ago.
