⚔️ Our enemies know that Ramadan is the “Month of Jihad and Victory” What about us? • According to Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنهما), the Battle of Badr, the military and spiritual victory of Islam, took place on Friday the 17th of Ramadan in the second year of the Hijrah. With Badr, Islam was victorious, polytheism and idolatry were defeated, and Abu Jahl and 70 of the prominent polytheists were killed in this battle. Badr was named as the day of 'Furqan' when Allah separated the truth from falsehood. • "Verily, We have given you a clear conquest." (Fath, 1) The Conquest of Mecca, the greatest victory of Islam, also took place on the 10th day of Ramadan, the month of Jihad and Victory. With this victory, which was the greatest of conquests, shirk and falsehood were destroyed, the destruction of the idols around the Ka'bah was completed, and at that time Shaytan gave up hope that Allah would be worshipped in the blessed land. • The biggest idols worshipped by the polytheists, Lât and Uzzâ, were also destroyed in the month of Ramadan. The house where Uzza was located was destroyed by Khalid bin Walid (رضي الله عنه) in Ramadan of the 8th year of Hijri. In the month of Ramadan of the 9th year of Hijri, a group of envoys from Ta'if from the people of Sakif came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him that they wanted to become Muslims. In the same year, the idol of Lât, which was worshipped by the people of Sakif, was destroyed. • It is also narrated that the first conquest of al-Quds took place in the month of Ramadan in the year 16 AH. During the caliphate of Umar Ibn al-Khattâb (رضي الله عنه), the Islamic army under the command of Abu Ubaydah B. Jarrah (رضي الله عنه) completed the conquest of Damascus and besieged al-Quds, which was then a Byzantine city called 'Ilya'. At the end of the fourth month, the people of Ilya, who could not withstand the siege, announced that they would surrender the city only to Amīr al-Mu'minīn 'Umar ibn al-Khattāb. The Caliph of the Muslims came in person and signed an emancipation decree and took back al-Quds , our first Qibla, from the Crusader invaders. • On 25 Ramadan 479, near the Zellêka Valley in Andalusia, the army of the Murabaptids under the command of the legendary commander Yusuf Bin Taşfîn crushed the 100,000-strong army of the Crusader King Alfonso IV, who had sent a message saying "Inform your Sultan that we will settle accounts on the battlefield". King Alfonso VI escaped from the battlefield wounded with his few surviving soldiers and saved his life. • The Mongol army, which committed unimaginable atrocities against Muslims in Iraq, set out with about 100,000 soldiers to subject Muslims in Syria to the same cruelty. On 25 Ramadan 658, the Mongols confronted the Mamluk Islamic army under the command of Baybars. The Mongol army, which could not be stopped by any army until that moment, was defeated with the attack launched by the Mamluk Sultan Seyfeddin Kutz by shouting "Va Islamah!". Thus, the Mongol advance in the Middle East was halted and Islam, which was about to be destroyed, was once again established. • Again, the conquest of Andalusia took place in Ramadan, the month of jihad and victory. Târık b. Ziyâd, with an army of 7000 people under his command, defeated the Visigoth commander Radrik and his army in the Bukhayra area on 28 Ramadan 92, and immediately afterwards, the biggest cities of Spain were conquered one by one. In Andalusia, which even today is the peak of Islamic and world civilisation, the Shari'ah of Allah ruled for about 800 years. May Allah Azza wa Jalla return it to us. • In the month of Ramadan of the 10th year of Hijri, Islam also prevailed in Yemen and began to spread.
