Sahib Dar al-Islam (Host of the First Secret Sanctuary of Islam) • رضي الله عنه
Accepted Islam around age sixteen as the seventh person to believe. Opened his private residence at the foot of Mount Safa (Dar al-Arqam) to serve as the clandestine headquarters of the Prophet ﷺ and early Muslims for three perilous years, where revelation was taught, prayer was established, and luminaries like Umar embraced Islam.
“Al-Arqam ibn Abi al-Arqam was among the earliest forerunners. In his house beneath Mount Safa, the Prophet ﷺ and the early believers took refuge until their number reached forty with the conversion of Umar ibn al-Khattab.”
