BURIAL PLACE OF THE MUSHRIKEEN
This barren land, close to Masjid Areesh, is where it’s said some of the pagans of Makkah were buried following the battle. The area is known as ‘Al-Qaleeb’.
Some of the worst enemies of Islam were killed that day, including Abu Jahal.
The Battle of Badr is a great example from our history which teaches that victory does not depend on numbers or material means.
Victory comes from Allah (swt).
