When we are asked of the legendary 300, we usually glorify the 300 of Thermopylae; the Spartans of Ancient Greece and that historical battle against the forces of Xerxes.

Little do we realize the 313 of Badr, who fought on this day, 1400 years ago.Those who dared to face death, outnumbered, in defense of Islam and the rights of Allah and mankind; so that now, we are fortunate enough to have relative peace in our fast.

Remember our 300, remember the Battle of Badr.
