مسجد قباء
Masjid Quba holds the distinction of being the very first مسجد in Islamic تاريخ. When النبي Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) migrated from مكة to المدينة in 622 CE, he stopped first at the village of Quba, where he laid the foundation of this مسجد. Allah mentions it in القرآن: 'A مسجد founded on righteousness from the first day is more worthy for you to stand in' (9:108), which many scholars interpret as referring to Masjid Quba. النبي used to visit Masjid Quba every Saturday, sometimes walking and sometimes riding. He said: 'Whoever makes الوضوء at home then comes to Masjid Quba and prays there, he will have a reward like that of العمرة' (Sunan an-Nasa'i). The مسجد has been expanded significantly over the centuries and now covers a large area with modern facilities. Visiting Masjid Quba is highly مستحب for الحجاج in المدينة and is typically included in the المدينة ziyarah program.
