LECTURE NO 233 || “Nofal bin Hureeth & The Prophet’s Powerful Dua | Battle of Badr”

#battleofbadr #seeratunnabi #powerofdua

On the day of the Battle of Badr, among the army of the Quraysh, there was a man known for his harshness, arrogance, and wicked behavior. His name was Nofal bin Hureeth. He was one of those individuals who tried to provoke the disbelievers and incite them to fight the Muslims with full aggression. His attitude played a major role in increasing the intensity of the battle.

Nofal was not only aggressive in nature, but he would speak proudly, threaten, mock, and openly challenge the Muslims. His evil presence in the battlefield was creating disturbance and encouraging others towards violence.

The Prophet’s Supplication,

When the Holy Prophet ﷺ saw the danger and mischief that Nofal was trying to spread among the Quraysh, he raised his hands and made a heartfelt dua:

“O my Lord, suffice me concerning Nofal bin Hureeth.”

This supplication shows the deep trust of the Prophet ﷺ in Allah’s protection and how he would turn to Allah in moments of difficulty, danger, or when an enemy posed harm to the believers.

he Turning Point in the Battlefield,

As the battle progressed, the situation began to change. When Nofal bin Hureeth witnessed with his own eyes the Qurayshi warriors—people he considered strong, brave, and undefeatable—falling one after another, he became overwhelmed with fear.

The same man who moments ago was full of arrogance and courage suddenly felt a deep terror in his heart. The battlefield, which he thought would be an easy victory for Quraysh, became a place of shock and confusion for him.

The strength and determination of the Muslims, their discipline, and the unseen help of Allah made such an impact on him that his bravery melted away completely. The fear that took over him was so intense that he could not stand firmly anymore.
