مسجد قباء
Masjid Quba is the first মসজিদ built in Islam, established by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) upon his arrival in মদীনা মুনাওয়ারা during the Hijrah. নবী করীম said that praying two rak'ahs in Masjid Quba is equivalent to the reward of an উমরাহ. It is located about 3.5 km south of মসজিদে নববী and has been massively expanded recently.
Masjid Quba was the first মসজিদ built in Islam. When Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) arrived in Quba during the Hijrah from মক্কা মুকাররমা to মদীনা মুনাওয়ারা in 622 CE, he stayed for several days and laid the foundation of this মসজিদ. The কুরআন refers to it in Surah At-Tawbah (9:108) as 'a মসজিদ founded on righteousness from the first day.' নবী করীম used to visit it every Saturday, sometimes walking, sometimes riding. The মসজিদ has undergone numerous expansions, with a recent massive expansion project significantly increasing its capacity.
Masjid Quba holds the distinction of being the first মসজিদ in Islam, founded on piety from its first day as mentioned in আল-কুরআন. The authentic hadith promising the reward of উমরাহ for praying two rak'ahs here makes it one of the most rewarding optional visits in মদীনা মুনাওয়ারা.
Masjid Quba is about 3.5 km south of মসজিদে নববী, easily reached by taxi, bus, or even walking. The মসজিদ is open for all five daily সালাতs. The sunnah is to perform অযু at home and then pray two rak'ahs at Masjid Quba, earning the reward of an উমরাহ. The recent expansion has made the মসজিদ much larger, with beautiful architecture, air conditioning, and modern facilities. Saturday visits follow the prophetic sunnah. The area around the মসজিদ has shops and restaurants.
