1. The Battle of Badr (624 CE)
The most significant event that took place on the 17th of Ramadan was the Battle of Badr. This was the first major battle in Islamic history, fought between the small army of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the Quraysh of Makkah.
The Muslim army consisted of 313 companions, while the Quraysh had nearly 1,000 soldiers. Despite being vastly outnumbered, the Muslims secured a decisive victory, marking a significant turning point for Islam. This triumph not only strengthened the faith of the early believers but also reaffirmed their conviction that divine support was with them.
2. The Revelation of Some Quranic Verses
Many scholars believe that parts of Surah Al-Anfal were revealed after the Battle of Badr, explaining war ethics and divine intervention.
