Battle of Badr
The battle was fought on March 13, 624 (17 Ramadan 2 AH) at the valley located in front of the hill. It occurred between a force from the Muslim community of Medina led by Muhammad, and a force led by Abu Jahl and others from Mecca. The battle was the first military encounter between the Meccans and the Muslims.
According to several hadiths and Quran verses, like Surah Al Imran and Sahih Muslim, Jabal e-Malaika was the hill that 3,000 angels, and later 5,000, were sent upon to help the Muslims win the battle.[4][5][6] Jibreel led 500 angels from the right side, while Mikaeel led 500 other angels from the left side, eventually being replaced by Ali, who was sent by the prophet to lead those angels.[2] According to Islamic sources, the help of the angels was a big part in the battle ending in a victory for the Muslims.

Mosques
There are two mosques next to the hill, one being the Bilal ibn Rabah Mosque (Arabic: مسجد بلال بن رباح) and another unnamed one, around 500 metres (1,600 ft) away from the mosque dedicated to Bilal ibn Rabah.
