Every traveler who steps into the sacred land of Hijaz carries a desire in their heart—to walk in the footsteps of the Prophet ﷺ and relive the moments that shaped the very soul of Islam. Among those moments, none shines brighter than the Battle of Badr, the very first Islamic victory—a day when faith outweighed numbers, and heaven touched earth.
Nestled between Madinah and Makkah, the ancient town of Badr rests silently under the desert skies. But beneath its calm exterior lies an ocean of history—of courage, du’as, and divine help. Visiting the holy sites in Badar isn’t just a sightseeing trip—it’s a powerful journey that connects your soul to the sacrifices of the earliest believers.
Why Visit Badr? A Spiritual Journey Beyond Time
Whether you’re here for Umrah, Hajj, or simply exploring the Islamic heritage of Saudi Arabia, Badr has a magnetic pull for those who want to witness where the impossible became possible.
It was here that 313 sincere Muslims, led by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, faced an army more than three times their size—and emerged victorious. They were tired, outnumbered, and lightly armed, yet they were rich in iman, patience, and prayers. And Allah sent down His help.
As the Quran beautifully reminds us in Surah Al-Imran (3:123):
“And Allah had already given you victory at Badr while you were few in number.”
When you walk through the sands of Badar, you’re not just visiting a location—you’re entering a living chapter of the Seerah. Your feet touch the same soil that angels descended upon, and your heart echoes the same hope that beat in the chests of the companions.
The Legacy of Ghazwa-e-Badr – The First Islamic Victory
The Battle of Badr, or Jang-e-Badar, was fought on the 17th day of Ramadan, during the 2nd year of Hijrah. In Medan-e-Badar (the field of Badr) were the 313 valiant and devoted Muslims, led by the Prophet ﷺ, who resisted a force of more than 1,000 Quraysh warriors. Though outnumbered, unarmed, and lightly armed, Allah awarded them victory—demonstrating to the world that religion is mightier than power.
The Quran itself speaks of this historic occasion in Surah Al-Imran (3:123):
“And Allah had already given you victory at Badr while you were few in number.”
Going to see places of historical importance in Badar is not tourism—it is an act of remembrance, gratitude, and association with the very first sacrifices given for Islam.
List of Most Important Ziyarat Sites in Badar
Let’s take a closer look at the most holy and important spots in Badr—all part of our Badr ziyarat list for Hajj pilgrims.
Medan-e-Badar (Battlefield of Badr)
This is actually the land on which the famous battle took place. As you step into this vast plain, it’s easy to picture the Muslim army lined up in quiet strength, their heads bowed in du’a. Our local guides usually describe how the battle went down—where the Prophet ﷺ was standing, how the Quraysh army attacked, and where the divine intervention came down.
Well of Badr (Bir al-Badr)
Near this well, the Muslims set up camp. It was here that the battle was planned, and the first tactical decisions were made. Standing here is a deeply humbling moment—imagine the Prophet ﷺ making du’a through the night, trusting Allah entirely as the enemy advanced.
Graves of the 14 Martyrs of Badr
These unadorned graves are where the first Islamic martyrs are buried. Their sacrifice paved the way for generations to come. Most visitors find themselves tearing up here—overwhelmed by the depth of sacrifice made by men who gave up everything for truth.
Mount Akhdar (Jabal Akhdar)
A modest green-tinted hill near the battlefield, used as a strategic lookout point during the battle. Today, it offers a quiet spot for visitors to pause, observe the terrain, and reflect on the military wisdom of the Prophet ﷺ.
Ghaar-e-Tadbeer (Cave of Planning)
This small, rocky cave is believed to be where the Prophet ﷺ secluded himself in prayer the night before the battle. Though not always accessible, knowing it exists nearby is enough to send shivers down your spine—this was where du’as were whispered and destinies were rewritten.
Masjid Areesh (Mosque of the Tent)
At this location, a small tent was established for the Prophet ﷺ to pray in the middle of the battle. Now, a mosque called Masjid Areesh stands at that holy location. Pilgrims offer two rak’ahs here to rekindle the Sunnah and remember Allah’s promise of assistance.
Masjid Badr Al-Kubra
This modern mosque, near the battlefield, provides a pure and peaceful environment for contemplation. Many pilgrims stop here to listen to short talks, rest under the shade, and feel the peace that still lingers in the air.

Old Marketplace Area
Before becoming the battlefield, Badr was a well-known trade stop.The Quraysh forces had anticipated that they would be able to intercept Muslim trade routes at this location. Though mostly ruins now, this site still gives a glimpse into the economic dynamics that led to confrontation.
Spring of Rawha (Bir al-Rawha)
Situated between Badr and Madinah, this spring was frequently utilized by caravans. The Prophet ﷺ stopped here, as reported. Although it is on the outskirts of central Badr, we cover it in longer ziyarat tours based on your route and schedule.
Hills and Watchpoints Surrounding
All around Badr are small hills where Muslim scouts once stood watch. Today, they provide scenic viewpoints and quiet places for dhikr, reflection, and absorbing the spiritual depth of your visit..
