Battle Of Badr
Since much of Islam's history is veiled in tradition, it is challenging to pinpoint precisely what occurred in the religion's early years. However, there are significant occurrences that we are aware of from other reliable sources, and the Battle of Badr was unquestionably one of them. The Battle of Medina, which took place in 624 AD between the mighty Quraysh confederation of tribes in Mecca and Prophet Mohammad's armies in Medina, would turn Islam from a fledgling faith into the official religion of one of the greatest and most illustrious empires in history.
The estimated number of men involved in the conflict was roughly 1,300, and while several explanations have been offered for the Islamic victory's eventual outcome, it has frequently been credited to Mohammad's superior abilities as a military leader. For the Quraysh tribe, it was the beginning of the end since it brought much of the prosperous economy of Mecca under Mohammad's dominion. Six years later, the Quraysh chiefs peacefully handed over Mecca to Mohammad after converting to Islam.
