Badr is a village located west of Madinah. It belonged to the Banu Ghifar tribe. Later, a spring started flowing there, and people built a village around it.

Before Islam, Badr was an important place for Arabs. It was on the trade and pilgrimage routes. In the second year of Hijra (624 CE), a famous battle happened here between the Muslims and the Quraysh. The Muslims won this battle.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
"A man who witnessed Badr or Hudaybiyyah will not enter Hell."

This battle is also called the Battle of Furqan. Allah said in the Quran:
"And [remember] the Day when We shall raise up in every nation a witness against them from among themselves, and We shall bring you [O Muhammad] as a witness against these people. And We have not sent you [O Muhammad] except as a mercy to the worlds."
(Surah Al-Anfal, 8:41)
