Question 1
What was the number of prisoners of war in Jang-e-Badr?
  • 47
  • 71✔️
  • 73
  • 70
Correct Answer Explanation
In the Battle of Badr, approximately 70 prisoners were taken from the Quraish. According to the answer key, the answer is 71. The Prophet (PBUH) consulted with his companions about their fate. Eventually, many were released upon payment of ransom, and those who could teach reading and writing to Muslim children were freed in exchange for teaching 10 Muslims each. This showed the emphasis Islam places on knowledge and education.
