The Social Role of Al-Dār in Prophetic Era

Abstract

The Arabs in pre-Islamic times were scattered peoples, tribes, and unorganized groups, not governed by written laws and constitutions, nor rulers, ministers, deputies or parliaments in the sense known in our days. Rather, the tribe was ruled by its oldest, the wealthiest, and the most influential men, and its law was the tribal custom. The situation of our nation today is somewhat similar to this situation. We are experiencing complete chaos and insecurity. Islam brought justice and the religion of truth, and it first started from the house of Al-Arqam, where the Prophet used to meet secretly with the early companions, teaching them their religion and reciting the Qur’an to them. The Arabs went from rival fighting tribes to a nation where the relationship between individuals is like tightly stacked bricks constituting a solid structure that pulls each other together. In this research, I wanted to shed light on the social role of the house in the Prophetic era. What was its social role that enabled the house to transform those rival tribes into one solid nation with the heart of one man? This leads to draw from the honorable Prophetic approach lessons and morals to activate the work of the schools that are spread throughout our nation - and there are many of them - in order to play their educational role to reform and revive the nation again. And that is the historical retrieval and analytical explanatory approach of verses of Allah and the noble hadith.
