The 17th of Ramadhan (in two days time) is a very important date in the Islamic calendar. It is a date that that signifies the strength of Islam and the sacrifice of the Muslims. It the anniversary of the most spectacular and monumental battle in the history of mankind.  The Battle of Badr.

Why is it the most spectacular and monumental battle in the history of mankind? Well, it was the and original battle between good and evil, between truth and falsehood and between the best of Mankind and the best of Angels against the worst of mankind and the worst of the shayateen.

It was the first “battle of the worlds;” soldiers from the unseen worlds were riding on horse back with swords and battling along side the best of all creation, our beloved Prophet Muhammad and his companions, who were the best of men.

No Hollywood, Bollywood or Lollywood film has yet to create such a scene!

The Angel Jibreel (as), wearing a yellow turban, was leading and commanding the army of angels in the unseen world and the battle raged. Just imagine!

What a moment, what a battle, what a day!  These are the stories and events our children should be told about, these were truly great events in the history of mankind and they should be remembered, taught and celebrated.

A brothers was telling me this morning that the names of the Shuhada of Badr were all memorised in the past by the Muslims, after the names of Allah and His Rasul were memorised.  Inshallah, I will list the names on the 17th Ramadhan.
