At 622 AD, Propeth Muhammad Shallahu Alaihi Wasallam moved from Mecca to Medina for build Islamic Society Community. Because, at Mecca, Propeth Muhammad Shallahu Alaihi Wasallam and his follower get bad treatment from Pagan Quraish at Mecca.  Imam Al-Bukhari, an Hadith Scholar at his book, Al-Maghazi  tell that Pagan Quraish at Mecca send letter to Pagan Leader at Medina, Abdullah Ibn Ubay , ask Abdullah Ibn Ubay to drive out Propeth Muhammad Shallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

Pagan Quraish also send messenger to Muslim Community that Quraish will attack Medina with big army and destroy City Of Medina.  Imam Al-Bukhari at his book, Kitab Al-Jihad illustrated about this situation, many Muslims at Medina cannot sleep and  Propeth Muhammad Shallahu Alaihi Wasallam also cannot sleep. He and his shahaba  vigil at City Of Medina.  Muslims vigil at City Of Medina with weapons. It is illustrated not secure situation at Citu Of Medina.

Allah Subhanahuwataala, revealed to Propeth Muhammad Shallahu Alaihi Wasallam  QS.Al-Hajj: 39 that contained command to resistance Muslim s selfs from strikers. Pagan Quraish also rob Muslims  s assets.  At 2 TH Years Of Hijriyya, Rasulullah Shallahu Alaihi Wasallam lead his army to attack Quraish Army and their ally, Bani Dhamrah. But, Bani Dhamrah held peace covenant with Rasulullah Shallahu Alaihi Wasallam. Propeth Muhammad Shallahu Alaihi Wasallam  held several military expedition to attack Quraish Army. But, not broke confrontation. Rasulullah Shallahu Alaihi Wasallam held peace with several Arabian Tribes , inclueded Bani Dhamrah and Bani Mudlij. At Month Of Jumadil Akhir,  Kurz Ibn Jabir Al-Fihri, an Quraish Commander attack place of  grazing at Medina. Propeth Muhammad Shallahu Alaihi Wasallam tried to chase Kurz, but Kurz escaped and Propeth Muhammad Shallahu Alaihi Wasallam plan two expedition to attack  Quraish Caravan. One expedition, handled by Rasulullah Shallahu Alaihi Wasallam and this expedition named Battle Of Badr.

Expedition before Battle Of Badr at 623 AD, lead by Abdullah Ibn Jahsh. And this factor is Quraish  Army entered territories around Medina and kidnapped weak peoples. At 624 AD, Quraish People make a plan for attack Medina and Rasulullah Shallahu Alaihi Wasallam went with his army to prevent Quraish s plan.  According Historian Juan Cole,  if seeing Covenant Of Medina that  require all People Of Medina defend the city at war situation, Muslims Army also helped by a small part from Medina s Jews and Christian  Arabian Tribes from Bani Jafna. Rasulullah Shallahu Alaihi Wasallam command his shahaba to attack Quraish Caravan. According my analyze, it is for warning to Quraish Pagan because they tried attack Medina and rob this city. Quraish Pagan send army to save his caravan and it is factor from the Battle Of Badr. And, fix, Battle Of Badr not robbery action that  deliberate doing by Muslims for get wealth, such as claimed by several Islamic Haters.  At next article, we will discuss about Battle Of Badr and how this battle run.
