PART 3
623 A.D / 1st Hijri:
In Madina there was a large Jewish population with whom Hazrat Mohemmed (saww) negotiated an agreement in order to adjust their relation with his followers. This is to be known as Mithaq-e-Madina (Charter of Madina). The salient features of that agreement were as follows:
623 A.D / 1st Hijri:
Hazrat Mohemmed (saww) was privileged the right through divine revelation to fight for defensive reasons.
623 A.D / 1st Hijri:
Hazrat Mohemmed (saww) led the very first battle of Islamic history, named Viden.
623 A.D / 1st Hijri:

624 A.D: / 1st Hijri:
Hazrat Salman Farsi, the Persian (RA) embraced Islam.
16 March, 624 A.D / 17 Ramadan-ul-Mubarak, 2nd Hijri:
The battle of Badr was fought. Badr a valley lies 90 miles away to the south of Madina, where that battle took place, after the name of that valley (the battle front) the battle is to be known as “the battle of Badr”. It was the first major encounter with infidels and Hazrat Mohemmed (saww) led the 313 devotees. That was a milestone not only in the Islamic history but also in the world history, when a Small army of just three hundred Muslims defeated a strong force of more than one thousand infidels of Makkah. That was the battle in which Angles led by Gabriel (A.S) joined the Muslims. That was the battle in which notable chiefs of Quraysh and bitter enemies of Islam like Ut,ba, Shai,ba, Waleed, Umayyah and Abu-Jahl (father of ignorance, the worst enemy of Islam) were put to death by a small but an enthusiastic Muslim army. Abu-Jahl’s death was an exemplary event of that battle when he was put to death by two young boys of Madina, named Ma,uz and Ma,az. At the beginning of the battle Hazrat Mohemmed (saww) threw a handful of pebbles at the infidels of Makkah, saying:
“Abased be those faces”.
A later revelation of Quran said that:
“It was not he, but Allah (swt) who threw” (8:17)
Another secret of the victory of Muslim force lies in the fact that they fought as a disciplined body with an order of battle. To this the Quran says:
“Allah (swt) loves those who fight in Allah’s (swt) way in ranks” (61:4)
The Muslim casualties were fourteen, those of the infidels seventy among few bitter enemies of Islam were killed, the rest being held for ransom. The battle amounted to be an astonishing victory for the Muslims, and that gained them political credibility for their cause among other tribes and soon they emerged as one of the strong forces of the world.

The fasting of the month of Ramadan was made mandatory on Muslims. The prophet (saww) recommended fasting as a spiritual discipline.
