DAR AL-ARQAM& THE Migration 
First, the Prophet began using the house of Arqam bin Abi Al-Arqam
as a secret centre for prayer, preaching, education and training. Arqam’s house was ideally located at the foot of Mount Safa
, only a short walk away from the Ka’bah 
and its bustling crowds. The pagans who lived in the area, therefore, did not take notice of the many people who gathered in Arqam’s house.

The Prophet would meet his Companions there and recite verses of the Qur’an to them which they would then memorise
. These arrangements allowed the early Muslims to learn the essential tenets of Islam and perform prayers in secret without incurring the wrath of their neighbours or other family members who had not converted.

As for the Prophet , he continued to perform his prayers in the open for all to see. In the face of persecution, insults, and harrassment, he kept preaching the message of Islam to everyone he met. It was the wisdom and mercy of Allah that the Prophet never refrained from carrying on with his mission, even under extremely adverse conditons. Because of his efforts, no soul will be able to argue on the Day of Judgment that Allah did not send a messenger to warn those who were astray and to show them the straight path.
Migration to Abyssinia 
The next step the Prophet took was aimed at preserving the Muslim community from increasing belligerance. He had heard much about the King of Abyssinia, who was known to be a just Christian ruler, one who would allow no persecution in his land. The Prophet directed the Muslim community to migrate to Abyssinia and to take shelter.
The first batch of Muslims migrated in the month of Rajab, five years after Muhammad had become a Prophet. Twelve men and four women made the journey across the red sea. Uthman bin Affan was the leader of the group, accompanied by his wife, one of the Prophet’s daughters. Their voluntary exile marked the first instance of a family migrating for religious reasons since the time of Ibraheem and Lut (Lot) (Peace be upon them both).
Late one night the small group of immigrants slipped out of Makkah and made their way to Sha’iba, a port south of Jeddah. Fortunately, two cargo ships were present there. The group boarded the ship and sailed to Abyssinia. There they found the refuge they needed until Allah made it safe for them to return to Makkah.
When the Quraysh found out that a group of Muslims had fled, they erupted in anger. They swiftly sent some men to bring them back to teach them such a lesson that they would recant their faith. However, the Quraysh reached the coast too late – the Muslims had already made their way out to sea. Tired and disappointed, the Quraysh returned to Makkah to begin plotting their next move.
About two months after the migration to Abyssinia, the Prophet came to the Ka’bah. A large number of the Quraysh were present, and their chieftians and nobelmen were sitting among them. The chapter (Surah) of the Qur’an called Al-Najm had only recently been revealed to the Prophet .
Suddenly the Prophet rose before the Quraysh and began reciting the verses of Surah Al-Najm.
