In modern times, life's pressures and rapid changes often weaken the mental and spiritual state of humans. Intense competition in life is highly prone to triggering mental tension and anxiety, hence humans desperately need an antidote to strengthen their psychological resilience. Therefore, an individual certainly requires persistence, or grit, which is a combination of perseverance, persistence, and passion in achieving long-term goals. Individuals with high levels of grit are able to endure when facing challenges and difficulties. The Battle of Badr is a tangible example of grit in Islamic history. Despite facing the larger and better-prepared Quraysh infidel army, Prophet Muhammad Saw and his companions demonstrated extraordinary resilience (grit). The purpose of this study is to examine the concept of grit in the Battle of Badr and its relevance in Islamic education. This research uses the library research method, which is a series of activities related to methods of collecting library data, reading, note-taking, and processing research materials. The results of this study reveal the existence of the grit concept in the Battle of Badr. This concept consists of two main dimensions, namely the consistency of interest which includes steadfastness (istiqamah), certainty, optimism, and a firm resolve that does not easily give up. Furthermore, the second dimension is the perseverance of effort which involves the attitudes of patience and reliance on God (tawakkal). Both of these dimensions are clearly reflected in the attitudes and actions of Prophet Muhammad Saw and his companions during the Battle of Badr. The implementation of the grit concept in Islamic education can help shape the character of students who not only possess strong religious knowledge but also have the mental and spiritual resilience required to face various life challenges.
