Approximately how many Makkan fighters faced the Muslims at the Battle of Badr?

Explanation

• The Quraysh army at the Battle of Badr is traditionally put at about 1,000 men.
• The Muslim force numbered only 313, so the Makkans outnumbered them by roughly three to one.
• Option A 313 is offered as a trap, because it is the size of the Muslim side rather than the Makkan side.
• The battle was fought in 2 AH, which corresponds to 624 CE.
• Badr is remembered as the first major battle of Islam, and the victory despite far smaller numbers is its best-known feature.
• Battle of Badr MCQs in FPSC and PPSC papers usually test these two troop figures, 313 against about 1,000.
