On this very day (17th of Ramadan), over 1400 years ago, the great battle of Badr took place. A number of inspiring lessons can be learnt from that historic battle which can be a great source of motivation when we face challenges in our day to day activities. Here are just some of the lessons:
You Are Never Alone
The Prophet (peace be upon him) knew that he and his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) were not alone in this battle. The Qur’an revealed that Angels joined the battlefield to help the Muslims. Let’s ask ourselves, how can we practically bring such aid from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) in our day to day life? This is where the inner jihad that takes place in serving Allah comes into play. We are taught that internally we must open our soul with firm faith in Allah and guide our body and actions to good deeds in order to receive assistance from Allah and to turn away from the distractions of Shaytan.

Don't Be Defeated
One of the biggest lessons of Badr, is that that we shouldn’t feel defeated this Ramadan. We shouldn’t feel defeated internally; by giving up to laziness, or making excuses, or failing to perform our utmost to serve Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). And we shouldn’t feel defeated collectively, as an Ummah, regardless of our circumstances, for truly the victory of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) is Inshaa Allaah near.
