Muslims in Medina received intelligence reports that the Quraysh were preparing to launch a major attack on them with the intent of wiping them out permanently. Quraysh had been preparing for a confrontation with Muslims for a long time. They felt that this was the opportune time to destroy the Muslims while they are still weak, and they set out to do so with a well-equipped force of a thousand men, hundreds of them on horses. The two forces camped out at Badr. When they met the battle surprisingly resulted in an overwhelming victory for the much smaller and poorly equipped Muslim force over the Quraysh.

The Quraysh, in contrast, were divided amongst themselves and their motivation
