 Battle of Badr is the first formal battle between the Khufar and the Muslims. And it's decisive, it leaves many lessons, and it shows how the Muslims can fight such a huge or big enemy. Battle of Badr occurred on 17th of Ramzan to Hijri. If these beshwar Muslims who were slowly becoming Muslims, in Mecca, they kept sending Madinah Sharif, but the Khufar did not even accept that Muslims were present or they were also present somewhere. And they didn't want Muslims to go to Madinah Sharif and be happy, they should get established and be able to combat the Khufar in a worthwhile manner. One reason was that their religion had this threat and everything, but another big reason was that the Khufar's economy was totally dependent on trade and their trade was mostly with Syria and the countries or the cities or the places en route. Now this path that leads to Syria in the evening passes near Madinah Sharif. Quresh was also very afraid that this path would pass near Madinah Sharif so the merchants who go to trade or come, the Muslims should not attack them or make them useless, or they should not snatch the things for them, or they should not become an obstacle for them, or they should not kill the Khufar who would be of course not in a very huge number as far as the caravan is concerned. If their trade had finished, the economy would have very badly been hurt and if the economy of a nation is hurt, the nation is hurt very badly itself. We have already mentioned that the Battle of Badr is its permanent reason, it is its future cause, but this battle of Badr had two reasons very immediately which created the battle. The first reason is that Abu Safiyan had taken a party to Syria, the caravan of trade and now he was coming back from Syria. As he would anticipate when he was coming back and coming nearer and nearer to Madinah Sharif, being leader it struck his mind that Muslims may loot his trade potty or may harm him, merely due to this fear he sent a message to Mecca that when I will pass through here, Muslims should not attack me and do not harm me and do not harm my trade. Resultantly the Quraish who were in abundance in Mecca, they prepared a very big army and moved it towards Madinah to harm the Muslims, to enable them to attack or harm the trade caravan of Abu Safiyan. By chance, at the same time, there was a disbeliever who was killed and this reason was also created. But this was not the reason, the real reason was that it was Abu Safiyan himself because although we can say that these were the two prime reasons, but the real solid reason was the message of Abu Safiyan, of which the Quffar prepared to neutralize any threat from the Muslims.
