The Battle of Wadi Birbat

27th of Ramadan (92 A.H)

 

The battle of Wadi Birbat (Birbat Valley) took place in the 27th of Ramadan, 92 A.H between Muslim forces and Al-Qout forces.

 

In this battle, Al-Quot forces surpassed Muslims in number, organization, and military exercises. Moreover, they were accustomed to the atmosphere of the battlefield and having their supporting sources close to them; all this gave them much strength. Yet they lacked a much more effective weapon possessed by Muslims, that is the strength of belief, the true belief in Allah Almighty and putting trust in Him. They were keen to die for the sake of their Lord, indifferent to this world’s luxurious goods but looking forward to the Hereafter and its everlasting goods. The two forces battled for eight days. Muslim forces fought courageously and so many were martyred, but the battle ended with their brilliant victory as a reward for their steadfastness and deep trust in their Lord.
