#74 What Caused the Battle of Badr? | Seerah | Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan #AMAU

About this episode

Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains the causes and context of the Battle of Badr, highlighting its significance in Islamic history.

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. 0:00:00 - Precap and Introduction 0:03:52 - The Greatness and Virtue of the Battle of Badr 0:08:07 - Distinct Features of the Battle of Badr 0:15:42 - The Background to the Battle 0:22:23 - Setting Out for the Caravan 0:28:09 - How Many Were the Sahabah? 0:33:04 - Those Who Didn’t Participate 0:43:50 - What We’ll Cover Next AMAU Junior: https://amaujunior.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amau...
