Key moments in history of Islam that occurred during Ramadan

For Muslims around the world, Ramadan is not just a blessed month but also an eventful period in the history of Islam. Countless historical events occurred in Ramadan. We present some of the key events that took place during the holy month that have made an impact on Islam’s progress.

Of the key events, the most important one for Muslims in this month was the revelation of the Noble Quran, the ultimate guidance for mankind, to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Another key event that took place during Ramadan was the battle of Badr, which was a defining moment in the history of Islam and Muslims. This decisive battle laid the foundation of the Islamic state and made Muslims a force to be reckoned with in the Arabian Peninsula.

Yet another major event that occurred during Ramadan in the eighth year of Hijra was the bloodless conquest of the holy city of Makkah; it was a great moment in the history of Islam. The treaty of Hudaybiya heralded the conquest, and a large number of people embraced Islam after this treaty.
