What the tale is about
On a Thursday evening, Ali travels with his sister Amine and their father, Mr Yusuf, to Uncle İsa’s home for a weekly religious gathering. Along the way, Mr Yusuf tells them about Hazrat Arqam, who was only eighteen when he offered his home to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the first Muslims as a safe place to meet. At Dar al-Arqam, they learned newly revealed verses, worshipped, and shared the beauty of Islam. Inspired by Arqam’s generosity, Ali offers his room, toys, and help with welcoming guests and cleaning, while learning that what we have can serve goodness.
