Please join us for our annual commemoration of the Great Battle of Badr, which took place on the 17th of Ramadan. This is the Decisive Day when Allah gave victory to His Beloved Prophet ﷺ and the Companions رضي الله عنهم. The Battle of Badr was a turning point for the entire Ummah, and many lessons can be learned from the events.
Commemorating events from the life of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gives life to our hearts, strengthens our faith, and inspires love, reverence, and dedication within us.
Join us after Taraweeh tonight (Sunday) with Shayk Talal Ahdab, who will impart lessons from this battle in which the impossible became possible.

The historic Battle of Badr took place on the 17th of Ramadan.
As we commemorate the Battle of Badr (17th of Ramadan), we reignite our trust, love, and connection to Allah, who made the seemingly impossible possible by granting Muslims victory and aiding them with Divine assistance. As Muslims in our Ummah struggle in different aspects of our lives, it is Allah ﷻ again who can assist us in times of need and make what we feel to be insurmountable a true victory for this life and the Next.
Join us or tune in to reignite our Badr inspiration in our lives! This was when only 313 Muslims heroically fought on the battlefield at Badr against seemingly insurmountable odds; this night in 2025 is especially relevant given the struggles of our brothers and sisters around the world.
On the 17th of Ramadan, our Beloved Prophet ﷺ courageously led 313 Muslims into their first major battle against their adversaries.
The Qurayshi Meccans, with their 1,000-strong army, were formidable opponents to the believers. As the two sides clashed on the battlefield, the Quraysh were taken by surprise and retreated in fear.
Angels descended upon the battlefield, turning the tide in favor of the Muslims. This victory marked their success in the first battle fought against the disbelievers.
The Muslim community faced further challenges, some of which resulted in less favorable outcomes. However, the fledgling ummah persevered despite these setbacks, paving the way for the continued dissemination of the Prophet’s message.
Thanks to the brave sacrifices of our predecessors 1400 years ago, we are honored to continue spreading Islam’s uplifting message.
