[Read about the next landmark associated with the Battle of Badr: Khatheeb al-Hannan] Sa‘d bin Mu‘adh (رضي الله عنه) suggested that a shelter be built for the Prophet (ﷺ) to function as headquarters for the Muslim army. He justified his proposal by saying that if the Muslims were victorious, then everything would be satisfactory. In case of defeat, the Prophet (ﷺ) would not be harmed and he could go back to Madinah where there were more people who loved him and who would come out to help him. The Prophet (ﷺ) praised him and invoked blessings upon him, and the shelter was fashioned with branches of palms. A squad of guards were chosen, primarily from among the Ansar under the leadership of Sa‘d bin Mu‘adh (رضي الله عنه) to defend the Prophet (ﷺ).

Visited on date 15th November 2022. Masjid was closed condition due to Under Construction. One of the historical place A must visit place to remember the contribution of prophet companions and be thankful for being a Muslim

This is one of the most remarkable milestone in the history of islam. The battle of Badr was like a do or die situation for prophet & his companions. Since Prophet SAW & his companions were few in number, 313 & comparatively the opponent troops from mecca were 3000+ with huge number of horses & camel; the general opinion was the Prophets side might loose since they were weak in number but the real miracle happened on that day. When Prophet pleaded for help from Almighty… from sincere prayers, there were thousands of Warrior Angels sent to fight & they trashed the opponents into pieces. Alhamdulillah!!!

Al-Arish Mosque is a mosque in Badr , built on the site of Al-Arish, which was the headquarters of the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, in the Battle of Badr .

Very very very beautiful Mosque. Neat and cleaned.

Very well kept mosque, right on the edge of the battle field

Masjid Areesh is built on the site where the tent of the Prophet (ﷺ) was pitched during the Battle of Badr. The battle was directed from here. In preparation for the battle the night before, the Prophet (ﷺ) started making dua (supplication) over and over again for hours saying, “O Allah, if you allow this small group of devout believers to be destroyed and perished in the battlefield tomorrow, You will not be worshipped in the earth as You deserve to be worshipped. O Allah, You promised me that You will grant me victory, so grant me victory now. O Allah, we need Your help and victory now.” The battle of Badr was the most important and the first major battle the Muslims fought. On Friday 17th Ramadhan 2 AH, the Muslim army, which numbered around 313, faced an army of 1,000 of the Quraysh. Through the help of Allah, the Muslims emerged victorious.

A great structural masjid near badr battleground. It has renowned historical presence in Islamic History

This area known as war badr command center. Abu Jahal are buried at this area. Local inform this are carcass smell until today.

Visited this masjid as part of ziyarath to badr battle ground and shuhda badr. Masjid Areesh was built on the site where the tent of the Prophet (ﷺ) was setup during the Battle of Badr. This tent was the headquarters of battle and all battle directions was from here. Surroundings of this masjid have lots of trees under which we had our lunch. We used the toilets and washrooms here, and left happily 😊 Thank you 🙏😊

I tried to find the well where Abu jahal and others were buried, could not. Found a person who was living in badar city since 14 years. He claimed that no body knows that well, however he showed me a recent dug up well used for irrigation. We crossed the whole badar ground. We even drank from the tube well the water was sour. He took me to the cemetery, and showed me the place where the sahaba were buried. Again there is no authentic source of confirmation for this.

Masjid Al-Areesh is a beautiful historic reminder of so much Islamic history and the place where Battle of Badr was commanded from by our beloved Prophet Mohammed SAW. Definitely must visit if you get the opportunity!

Very beautiful 😍 mosque. The whole mosque is beautifully decorated.

What is Badr? Badr is a town in Al Madinah Province, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The desert city is located about 130 km (81 mi) from the Islamic holy city of Madinah. The holy city is the site where the Battle of Badr, between the Quraishi-led Polytheists, and the Muslims under the leadership of Muhammad (PBUH) was fought. The Battle of Badr Regarding the Battle of Badr, Allah Almighty said in the Qur’an: “Indeed Allah assisted you at Badr when you were weak, so be careful (to your duty) to Allah so that you may be of the thankful ones. When you said to the believers ‘Does it not suffice you that your Lord should assist you with three thousand angels sent down.” (Qur’an, 3:123) The two armies met at Badr on 17th Ramadan, 2 AH. In the beginning as per Arab custom, single combat (one to one) took place. The famous Quraysh warriors Utbah, Shayba and Walid came to challenge three ‘Ansars’ from Madinah. The Quraysh refused to fight any of the ‘Ansars’, demanding their ‘equals’ and so the Prophet (peace be upon him) sent Ubayda, Hamza and Ali (may Allah be pleased with them). The three Kuffar were killed (Ubayda was hurt). The Quraysh got disturbed and began attacking en-masse. In the thick of the battle, the Prophet prayed to Allah. In Surat Al-Anfal Allah Almighty gave the answer: “When you asked for help from your Lord, He answered you. Indeed I will aid you with a thousand of the angels in rows behind rows.” (Qur’an, 8:9) The enemies got frightened and began to retreat. The bravery and skill of Muslim soldiers under the leadership of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the sight of so many angels struck terror in the enemies’ hearts. Seventy-two Kuffar in total were killed including their leader Abu Jahl. Ali ibn Abi Talib alone killed 36 of them. Fourteen Muslims were martyred. Seventy prisoners were taken by the Muslims. The prisoners were treated with kindness and some became Muslims. In later days some of the prisoners said: “Blessed be the men of Madinah, they made us ride whilst they walked, they gave us wheat and bread to eat when there was little of it contenting themselves with plain dates.” The rich prisoners paid ransom and were set free. Others were asked to gain their freedom by teaching 10 Muslims to read and write. The Battle of Badr strengthened the faith of the Muslims. Badr Cemetery The burial place of the Shuhada of Badr (14) 14 companions were martyred in the battle. Their names are listed at the site of the battle.They were : 1) Sayyiduna ‘Umayr ibn Abi Waqas. رضي الله عنه 2) Sayyiduna Safwan ibn Wahb. رضي الله عنه 3) Sayyiduna Dhu-Shimalayn ibn ‘Abdi. رضي الله عنه 4) Sayyiduna Mihja’ ibn Salih. رضي الله عنه 5) Sayyiduna ‘Aqil bin al-Bukayr. رضي الله عنه 6) Sayyiduna ‘Ubaydah ibn al-Harith. رضي الله عنه 7) Sayyiduna Sa’ad ibn Khaythama. رضي الله عنه 8) Sayyiduna Mubashir ibn ‘Abd al-Mundhir. رضي الله عنه 9) Sayyiduna Harithah ibn Suraqah. رضي الله عنه 10) Sayyiduna Rafi’ ibn Mu’ala. رضي الله عنه 11) Sayyiduna ‘Umayr ibn Humam. رضي الله عنه 12) Sayyiduna Yazid ibn al-Harith. رضي الله عنه 13) Sayyiduna Mu’awidh ibn al-Harith. رضي الله عنه 14) Sayyiduna ‘Awf ibn al-Harith. رضي الله عنه
