Living with the Prophet’s biography, and meditating on its lessons and sermons, is not a matter of intellectual disintegration, even if it is not without the blessing of reward and obedience. However, it is necessary to project what happened in these prophetic events onto the course of our lives, so that they may be food and a beacon for the problems we suffer from. Or tribulations, minor or major, and this is the secret of the multiplicity of writings about the biography of the Prophet - may God bless him and grant him peace - in every time and place, in many languages, and from different specialists, where every specialist and every generation sees whatever angles of view and thought they find in this biography, and this The secret of the greatness of its Prophet, and the greatness of his fragrant biography.

In the holy month of Ramadan, major and momentous events occurred in the biography of the Prophet, the most important of which were: the Great Battle of Badr, which was called the Day of Criterion; Because God differentiated between truth and falsehood in it, by supporting the people of truth on this day, despite their small number and equipment, so that it would be a lesson for all generations of Muslims, whenever they go through an ordeal close to it, to draw inspiration from it and provide them with food to meet their misfortunes and tribulations.

There is no plight that the nation is experiencing now in this holy month, greater or more important than the plight of the people of Gaza, where they are bombarded day and night with all means of killing with unprecedented aggression in this world, and there are important and useful similarities from the Battle of Badr, which provide lessons and hope from this prophetic past of Where is history, but it is past, present and future in terms of sermon, lesson and example, which is what we are trying to touch upon in this article in a few points, as there is not enough room to enumerate them all.

One of the first things that contributed to the decisiveness of the Battle of Badr was what the Muslims did in what was known as the customs of wars, which were: the duel, where from both sides would emerge someone who would go out to the duel, and in fact three of the senior companions of the Companions, the most skilled in dueling, came out in front of three of the senior Quraysh army. They all suffered defeat and were killed in the duel. This was a major psychological factor in attracting the infidels of Quraysh.

They wanted a small battle, but God wanted it to be a major battle

The first features that become clear to us about the Battle of Badr are its cause. The intention of the Muslims who left was limited to a small, limited goal: to attack the caravan of Quraysh, the trade caravan led by Abu Sufyan, so that the Muslims would regain some of their rights, as Quraysh had plundered their money. And their homes, and threatened them, after they migrated to Medina, by writing to the leaders of Medina, saying that they had given shelter to those who had revolted from their religion. Abu Sufyan escaped the caravan through his trickery and cunning, and he had sent a messenger to the Quraysh to alert them to that.

But Abu Jahl and a team with him insisted on fighting the battle, with the aim of annihilating the Muslims and eradicating them, so the battle turned from a small goal into a major battle, about which the Noble Qur’an said: (And when God promised you that one of the two factions was yours and that you wished to You will have nothing but a thorn, and God wants to He establishes the truth by His word and cuts off the roots of the disbelievers. To establish the truth and abolish the falsehood, even if the criminals hate it. (Al-Anfal) : 8,7.

The "Al-Aqsa Flood" was at its beginning and the planning of those who carried it out: just a small operation, in which some soldiers were captured, to be negotiated with to release the prisoners in the occupation prisons. But the operation expanded, due to the security penetration of the Zionist entity, and the participants were surprised by civilian participants, and something happened that they had never seen before. The people of Palestine do not think so, as everyone finds themselves facing a major battle, not a minor one, and facing an event that will shake the entire world, before it shakes the Zionist entity.

The arrogance of the arrogant person is the same at all times

The Quraysh knew that the caravan had survived, but Abu Jahl’s arrogance and arrogance pushed him to go to war, and he said his famous words: By God, we will not return until we return the water of Badr, and we stay at it for three days, so the Arabs will never fear us. Despite Utbah bin Rabi’ah’s attempts to dissuade them from going to war, and to hang it around his neck, Abu Jahl provoked him by accusing him of cowardice, and that they were going ahead with what they set out for, and nothing would prevent them from doing so, so as not to affect their prestige and arrogance. Indeed, the people submitted to Abu Jahl, and the end of most of them was in this campaign. Instead of a passing incident that could have gone unnoticed, he went to a larger arena, which took them and their dignity away forever.

The same logic of arrogance and arrogance, we see in every arrogant, occupier, and tyrant. The qualities and decisions are the same, and each one of them walks towards his inevitable end, from which there is no escape. Nothing can stop him from that, neither the advice of the wise people around him, nor their guidance, and this is what was evident in Netanyahu and those he adopted. His opinion is that whenever some people try to convince him to end the war and exchange prisoners, he insists on continuing the war and destruction, and finds someone to stand with him in the destruction, because his arrogance and the pride of Israel have been buried in the dust with what happened, and the war only increased his loss, despite the loss of the people of Gaza in lives and buildings, but it Women: 104, the pain is mutual, with the difference that there is hope in God, which is for the oppressed And not for the arrogant oppressor.

The effect of the enemy's first strike

One of the first things that contributed to the decisiveness of the Battle of Badr was what the Muslims did in what was known as the customs of wars, which were: the duel, where from both sides would emerge someone who would go out to the duel, and in fact three of the senior companions of the Companions, the most skilled in dueling, came out in front of three of the senior Quraysh army. They all suffered defeat and were killed in the duel. This was a major psychological factor in attracting the infidels of Quraysh.

This is what we find in the “Al-Aqsa Flood”. This strike, despite its massive consequences on the people of Gaza in terms of destruction, killing and displacement, and the outcome of which is not known yet, is that this shock, which struck all the walls of Zionist security and safety, struck them in death, and achieved a strategic goal whose impact will remain. For a long and long term, which explains their madness in war, and what they do, and it is a method they always follow, but it increased due to the pain that caused them, and the resulting effects on several levels: including psychological, and the loss of safety and confidence in this Zionist army and the security services. .

The victory of the faithful few

The number of Muslims in the Battle of Badr was slightly more than 300 men, with minimal equipment and equipment, and the number of polytheists was a thousand fighters, with their equipment and equipment, and skilled knights. However, the few were victorious and the many were defeated, because the few believers combined preparation for battle and seeking help from God Almighty until The robe of the Prophet - may God bless him and grant him peace - fell from his shoulder while he was praying, for fear that this group of believers would perish.

The hearts of Muslims, Arabs, and free people in the entire world are attached to praying to God Almighty to grant victory to the people of Gaza, and to protect them from the evil of the arrogant people on earth, from the entity and those who help it from the Arabs and the West. Despite the small area in which the war is taking place, the small number, and the scarcity of military and civilian supplies, the people It is almost killed by fear and anxiety for Gaza and its people, about what people do not know about the unseen of God. Will the oppressor be able to eliminate them, or will they return broken, dragging the tails of disappointment?

Angels descend for victory

God did not abandon the believers in the Battle of Badr, so He sent down rain to purify them and strengthen them, and He sent down His angels - Glory be to Him - where He said: (When you ask your Lord for help, He will respond to you. Indeed, I will support you with a thousand angels. Those are the same. And God made it nothing but good news and that your hearts may be at peace therein. And victory is only from You. Indeed, Allah is Mighty, All-Wise (Al-Anfal: 9-10). Did the angels descend to fight here or to strengthen the believers?

What the noble verses make clear is that the descent of the angels was to strengthen the believers, as a thousand angels are equivalent in number to an army of polytheists, and one angel is sufficient to defeat them, but their descent was to stabilize and bind the hearts of the believers, which raises the issue that the descent was not specific to the Companions. Not only that, but it is something that happens at all times and places, with everyone who deserves this descent.

This is what we clearly notice in the steadfastness and patience of the people of Gaza, for God - the Almighty - knows that these people deserve victory and steadfastness, and this is what we saw in the positions of many, which drew attention to it, and the subject of the question was from the East and the West: How do these people withstand all this affliction? It is God's stabilization of souls, whether through faith, His angels, or other factors through the power of God Almighty.

In the Battle of Badr and what is happening in the land of Gaza, there are countless similarities, so there is no surprise because it is the history of faith in every time and place, repeated with different people and places, because its author draws from the same complaint from which the first stances of the believers were issued, in Badr and other battles of Islam, and what is important is that Muslims draw inspiration from the lessons of their present from their prophetic past, adhering to God’s laws in the universe, and taking into account the implementation of them, striving for God’s victory, with all the material and moral preparation they possess, keeping in mind the words of God Almighty: (If you support God, He will support you and establish your feet.) Muhammad: 7.
