منطقة قباء
The Quba area is a district in southern মদীনা মুনাওয়ারা where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) first stayed upon arriving from মক্কা মুকাররমা during the Hijrah in 622 CE. He stayed with the family of Amr ibn Awf for about 14 days and established Masjid Quba, the first মসজিদ in Islam. The area has since developed into a vibrant neighborhood centered around the expanded Masjid Quba.
Quba was a settlement south of the main মদীনা মুনাওয়ারা area inhabited by the Banu Amr ibn Awf clan. When নবী করীম (PBUH) arrived during the Hijrah, he was welcomed here and stayed with Kulthum ibn al-Hidm. During his stay, he established Masjid Quba and waited for Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA) to arrive from মক্কা মুকাররমা. The area has been part of মদীনা মুনাওয়ারা's urban growth and is now a well-developed district centered around the greatly expanded Masjid Quba, which recently underwent a massive modernization and expansion project.
Quba holds the distinction of being নবী করীম's first residence in the মদীনা মুনাওয়ারা region and the site of the first মসজিদ in Islam. The area represents the beginning of the Islamic state and the warm welcome the Ansar (helpers) of মদীনা মুনাওয়ারা extended to the Muhajirin (migrants) from মক্কা মুকাররমা.
The Quba area is located about 3.5 km south of মসজিদে নববী. It is easily accessible by taxi, bus, or the planned মদীনা মুনাওয়ারা Metro. The main attraction is Masjid Quba, but the surrounding area has restaurants, shops, and date markets. Many হাজীগণ combine a visit to Masjid Quba with a walk through the area. The road between Quba and মসজিদে নববী (Quba Road) is a pleasant walk of about 40 minutes, following a route similar to what নবী করীম walked. Several smaller historic sites are along this route.
