S7 E20: The Strategy to Control Water & Divine Approval at the Battle of Badr | Dr Hatem | Lessons


Listen Later

In this episode of "Reflecting Light", we delve into a key strategic decision of the Prophet on the advice of a companion and per Allah's direction, at the Battle of Badr - the seizing of the water supply. Despite popular misconceptions, Badr was not a place with a lake or river, but instead a region of underground water accessible through several wells. This factored significantly in the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) battle plan.


The episode illuminates the insightful contribution of Al-Hubab from Khazraj, who advised the Prophet to camp near the water. A revelation from Jibrail (AS) confirmed this plan, emphasizing the importance of strategic advantage, not just reliance on divine victory.


The analysis encourages us to understand the implications of this strategy on the outcome of the Battle of Badr. This tactical move restricted the enemy's access to water and facilitated easy access for the Muslims, underlining the wisdom of adopting worldly means for success while seeking divine support.
