Whose house became the center for the early preaching of Islam?

Explanation

Hazrat Arqam ibn Abi al-Arqam (R.A) was among the earliest converts to Islam and offered his house, located near the Safa hill in Makkah, as a secret meeting place for the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the early Muslims. This house, known as Dar-e-Arqam, served as the first Islamic center where the Prophet (PBUH) taught the Quran and preached Islam secretly for about three years during the early Makkan period when Muslims faced severe persecution.

Good to know

Dar-e-Arqam was the first safe house and learning center of Islam, where many early companions embraced the faith in secret. It was here that Hazrat Umar (R.A) accepted Islam in the sixth year of Prophethood, which marked a turning point for the Muslim community. Hazrat Arqam (R.A) was only about 16-17 years old when he accepted Islam and belonged to the influential Makhzum tribe of Quraysh.
