       Despite of the fact that Quraish's army was three times bigger than the Muslim's army, Quraish's army was defeated. Quraish lost seventy of their men including some of the most prominent chiefs of Quraish like Umyah, Abu Jahl, Al Walid and Shaibah. Furthermore, another seventy of their men fell as war prisoners in the hands of the Muslims. On the Muslim side, only fourteen were martyred. It was certainly, a very shameful defeat for Quraish.

	After the war had ended, Rasulu Allah (saws) decided to set the war prisoners free. He instructed those who knew how to read and write to teach Muslims how to read and write in exchange of their freedom.
The Battle of Badr was a great lesson for the Muslims. They learnt that victory could be achieved only with the help of Allah. This battle also was a great propaganda for Islam. Many people entered Islam after the defeat of Quraish.
