AL HIJRA AND BATTLE OF BADR PREDICTED IN ISAIAH.......Enjoy your stay!
GOD IS GREAT!!
"In the thickets in Arabia you will lodge, O caravans of Dedanites. To the thirsty bring water, meet the fugitive with bread, O inhabitants of the land of Tema. For they have fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow, and from the press of battle. For thus the Lord said to me, “Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar will come to an end; and the remainder of the archers of the mighty men of the sons of Kedar will be few; for the Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken.” Isaiah 21:13-17
Tema= is the name of one of the sons of Prophet Ishmael; his progeny inhabited the locality of Madina, or "in the North of the Hijaz. "
kedar=Kedar is the name of a son of Prophet Ishmael, whose progeny settled in the Hejaz. Id., at p. 124, emphasis added. See also Genesis 25:13 (naming Kedar as a son of Ishmael).
As to who are the people of Kedar according to the Bible,
it is written in the Encyclopaedia Biblica that Kedar: "is invariably described as a desert people in the full sense of the term. Once, in an inscription of Asur-bani-pal, the name is used even as a synonym of Arabia."
In 622 CE, the leaders of the Quraish decided to kill the Prophet and they developed a plan in which one man was chosen from each of the Quraish tribes and they were to attack the Prophet simultaneously. Gabriel informed the Prophet of the plan and instructed him to leave Makkah immediately. The Prophet, . . .left with Abu Bakr in the night he was to be assassinated. They went south of Makkah to a mountain cave of Thawr [see Qur'an 9:40], and after staying three nights they traveled north to Yathrib (Medinah) about two hundred fifty miles from Makkah. Upon discovery of his escape, the leaders of Quraish put up a reward of one hundred camels on him, dead or alive. In spite of all their best scouts and search parties, Allah protected the Prophet and he arrived safely in Quba, a suburb of Medinah [Qur'an 28:85]. This event is known as the ‘Hijra’ (migration) and the Islamic calendar begins with this event. The people of Aws and Khazraj in Medinah greeted him with great enthusiasm in accordance with their pledge made at Aqaba less than a year ago during the annual pilgrimage. One by one those Muslims (men and women) of Makkah who were not physically restrained, and who could make a secret exit, left for Medinah leaving behind their properties and homes.

Thus, as predicted by Isaiah, Muhammad (pbuh) and his followers “fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and as a fugitive, the Prophet (pbuh) was met “with bread, i.e. welcomed by the “inhabitants of the land of Tema [Madina].” Isaiah, 21: 14- 15, emphasis added.
Moreover, “ n the famous battle of Badr, which was fought against the Prophet Muhammad after a year of the migration, the glory and splendour of Kedar was dissipated, and the fame of their archers was reduced to dust, and their brave were slain. Muhammad In World Scriptures,” supra, at pp. 122-123. This fulfilled the portion of Isaiah’s prophecy that: “Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar will come to an end; and the remainder of the archers of the mighty men of the sons of Kedar will be few; for the Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken.” Isaiah, 21:16-17, emphasis added.
For the seekers of truth, the following five points of this prophecy are worthy of serious consideration:
1. The prophecy is related to Arabia.
2. The Arabian race is addressed.
3. The people of Tema, i.e., the people of Madina, are commanded to welcome those who have fled.
4. Those who fled are oppressed in the extreme.
5. The oppressors disintegrate after only one year from the flight.
These five very essential facts fit in only in one historic happening, and that is the flight of the Prophet Muhammad from Makka to Madina, and the collapse after one year of the power of the sons of Kedar. “Muhammad In World Scriptures,” supra, at 124, emphasis added.
