DAR -E- ARQAM where syedna omer bin khatta accepted islam Arrows show the place where syedna umer accepted islam DAR-E-ARQAM 1 . Dar-e-Arqam was the house of Syedna Arqam (May God Bless Him) which was used for promoting Islam in a very early age of "Nabovat".
2 . Only 39 peoples had embraced Islam and Syedna Omer was still with KUFFAR-E-QURESH.
3 . One day Syedna Omer (May God Pleased Him) came to this house, where Prophet MUHAMMAD (S. A. W.) and his companions were sitting. Omer (May God Pleased Him) views had been changed when he listened the Verses of Holy Quran (surah of TAHA) from the tongue of his sister. Omer (May God Pleased Him) was very strong and brave man and Prophet MUHAMMAD (S. A. W.) wanted him to be Muslim.
4. Prophet Muhammad sallalla ho allihi wasalam used to pray Almighty Allah to convert at east one omer in to muslim among twos. In fact omer bin khattab and omer bin hashsham (abu-jehal) both were very strong and brave. Prophet Muhammad sallalla ho allihi wasalam wanted at least one among them to be muslim. Almighty Allah accepted the dua of his beloved prophet and Omer bin khattab embraced islam. Before accepting islam Omer bin khattab was worst enemy of islam. One day when he came out from his house with bad intention to kill (Allah forgives me) Prophet sallallaho allihi wasalam. When he was walking in makkahs' street with bad intention someone told him to check his sister and brother-in-law who accepted islam. Hearing this news omer bin khattab lost his temper and he rushed to his sisters' house.Both the sister and her husband was reciting verses of holy Quran. omer bin khattab bet (hurt) both of them but they remained firm and said " whether my brother you kill us or not, we will not leave this holy religion at any cost". This determination changed the mind of syedna omer and he said tell me what were you reciting. his sister recited holy verses of sura Taha. Recitation of holy Quran turned syedna omer's' hearts into right path. His heart became soft and he rushed towards DAR-E-ARQAM. When Omer (May God Pleased Him) came Dar-e-Arqam, companions of prophet Muhammad sallallaho allihi wasalam though that angry Omer (May God Pleased Him) might hurt Prophet (S. A. W). But Omer (May God Pleased Him) came and embraced Islam. Muslims shouted loudly first time, "Allah -Ho- Akbar". This brave and loud roar had been heard by kuffar in their houses and they thought muslims had certainly achieved some remarkable target. Syedna Omer (May God Pleased Him) inquired Prophet (S. A. W.) "Are we on right way?" Prophet (S. A. W.) said "certainly. we are". Omer (May God Pleased Him) said, "Then we will offer Salat out side- in "Haram" openly. Before this occasion Muslims used to pray secretly, not showing themselves open.

Two queues were formed in Dar-e-Arqam . one was led by sydna hamza raddi Allah ho talla anho and other by syedna omer radiallah ho talla anho.
