Battle of Badr

This is the day Allah calls in the Qura'an *يوم الفرقان يوم التقى الجمعان*

'The day of criterian, the day the two groups [good and evil] met'

Muslim's should have a deep knowledge of this story because it explains Imaan in its true and greatest form. Its lessons are so vast and numerous that they can be applied in every situation a believer finds himself or herself in.

Note: Students should be taught that the point of these wars was not war in itself. The Muslims were aggressed against in this battle yet they maintained complete justice. Allah says in the Qur'aan:

* اعدلوا هو أقرب للتقوى*
'Be just. That is the closest to piety'.
