Before the swords clashed at Badr, three men stepped forward to face three of Quraysh's champions in a duel that would open one of the most pivotal battles in Islamic history. Hamza, Ali, and Ubaydah ibn al-Harith stood against Shaybah, Utbah, and Al-Walid; and the encounter ended with both swift victory and painful sacrifice. Ubaydah ibn al-Harith fell that day, bleeding severely, yet spent his final moments reciting poetry in defence of the Prophet ﷺ.

The episode also covers the Prophet ﷺ spending the battle in his tent, raising his hands to Allah to the point where his garment fell from his shoulders, and Abu Bakr's emotional response beside him. Allah's answer came; angels descending, fear placed in the hearts of Quraysh, and victory granted to a small group of believers who had placed their complete trust in Allah. The episode closes with a powerful reminder that victory always belongs to those who hold firm to their faith, no matter how impossible the odds may look.

The journey to Badr didn’t begin with a battlefield. It began with small moments that tested the companions one by one.

Some were told to return, others tried to stay hidden, and lessons were given on the road that shaped the mindset of the entire group.

What seemed like a simple march became a series of decisions that revealed what each person carried in their heart.

Meanwhile in Makkah, a sudden wave of news moved through the city and forced Quraysh to react. What they chose next set both sides on a path neither could step away from.

Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains how these moments built the lead-up to Badr and why they changed the direction of the story.

The clash hasn’t begun yet, but the turning point is close.

A caravan returning from Sham set the stage for the first major battle in Islam. In this episode, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains how a simple attempt to intercept Quraysh’s wealth became Yawm al-Furqan, the day Allah separated truth from falsehood.

He covers the precise date of Badr (Friday, 17 Ramadan, 2 AH), why the Prophet ﷺ left Madinah without calling for a full mobilisation, and how a small group of Sahabah was chosen for a test they never expected. You’ll also hear why the people of Badr were given a unique status, along with early incidents that showed Allah’s support for them.

This session establishes the cause and context of Badr before the military details continue in the next episode.

For sixteen months, the Prophet ﷺ and his companions prayed toward Jerusalem. Then, in the middle of Rajab, everything changed. But what happened when the revelation came down during Asr prayer? And what about those companions praying miles away in Masjid Quba who had no idea the Qibla had just shifted?

In this episode of the Seerah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan takes us through one of the most pivotal moments in Islamic history: the day the Muslim Ummah turned toward the Kaaba.

Discover the dramatic scene of companions mid-prayer, the single messenger who changed everything, and the Jews of Medina who called the Muslims "dimwitted" for this divine command.

But that's not all. Why did the Prophet ﷺ long to face the Kaaba while still honouring Jerusalem?

What hidden fiqh rulings emerged from this single event? And how does the fasting of Ashura connect to this momentous occasion?

The stage is now set for the greatest battle in Islamic history: a battle where Allah Himself promised forgiveness to its participants. Are you ready to witness what happens next?

The expeditions had begun. Quraysh’s caravans - loaded with the wealth stripped from the Muslims in Makkah - became the new target. The first expeditions passed without major confrontation, but each one edged closer to the inevitable clash. Then came Nakhlah.

A sealed letter. A mission meant only to observe. Twelve men who suddenly found themselves standing at a crossroads: strike the caravan now and risk spilling blood in the sacred month, or let it pass and lose the chance forever. One arrow was loosed. A man fell. Captives were taken. The first spoils of war were in Muslim hands.

What followed shook everything. Accusations, anger, and uncertainty filled Madinah. Even the Muslims themselves were unsure of what had just happened - until revelation from Allah ﷻ descended, clarifying the truth and turning the tide.

In this episode, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explores:
- The Prophet’s ﷺ earliest expeditions and why only the Muhajirun participated in them.
- The Nakhlah raid and its far-reaching consequences.
- A tender moment that gave ‘Ali رضي الله عنه the name Abu Turab, and a chilling prophecy about his fate.
- Lessons from deviation, and why the chains of scholarship protect the Ummah.

A single decision at Nakhlah pushed the Muslims closer to what Quraysh had long feared: open battle.
