Roll No. 15
Establishment of Dar al Arkam

Due to the Inhuman Persecution

Prophet Advised His followers to
conceal their conversion. In both
word and deed.

So, He Took Dar Al-Arqam, in As-

Safa mountain, in the fifth year of
his mission, as a temporary centre
to meet his followers secretly and
in order to pass on the latest
revelations that he had received.
Reasons Why Prophet choose The house of
Arqam b Arqam.
1. Arqam was not known as a Muslim.
2. Arqam was just about 16 when he embraced Islam. Nobody
would guess that meetings would be held in his house
So, The Prophet allowed a second batch to emigrate. This time they were
over eighty men and nineteen women.

Quraysh’s Efforts to get back the Emigrants.

When the Quraysh learnt that muslims are living peacefully, they
consulted amongst themselves and decided that they should send
two of their prominent men With Gifts to Najashi to bring them
back.

One was Amr b Aas, Another was Abdullah b Abi Rabia. They
sought muslims back, But The Negus rejected.
Nagashi’ Islam

In one of his narrations, Ibn Ishaq has reported that after Najashi's
death, the people could see a light emanating from his grave.

Another report says that his people revolted against him because he
had become a Muslim and that before he battled against them.

When Umar embraced Islam Many other reports have come down to us
speaking of Islam gaining strength because of him.

He became the first Muslim to openly pray at the Kaaba.

General Boycott 617 ce.

Reasons;
When the Quraysh saw that the number of those entering into Islam was
on the rise
Especially after the Islam of Hamzah and 'Umar.
when the Quraysh saw that the Companions of the Prophet had found an
I abode of peace in Abyssinia.
They agreed together that they'd get the Prophet assassinated.
When this news reached Abu Talib, he got Banu Hashim and Banu
Muttalib assembled together. During the meeting, they decided that
they would keep the Prophet in a Shi'b (narrow valley) within
Makkah preventing any attempt on his life.

They hung the boycott agreement inside the Ka'bah. It was Mansur
bin 'Ikrimah who wrote it.

It is said that the boycott started in Muharram of the seventh year

after the Prophet was commissioned. It lasted from two to three
years.

Journey to Taif. 619 CE.
After the death of Abu Talib when the Quraysh were
encouraged to behave with the Prophet in ways that they
would not have done during his life, the Prophet decided to
travel to Ta'if and seek the help of the Thaqif tribe. . He had
hoped that they would embrace Islam.

But They refuse and scoffed at him.
