Quba Masjid: What Is the Reward for Praying There? Praying two rak'ahs at Masjid Quba earns the reward equivalent to an Umrah, according to authentic hadith.
Masjid Quba is the first masjid ever built in Islam, constructed by Nabi upon his arrival in Madinah. Nabi used to visit every Saturday and pray two rak'ahs there. He also said: 'Whoever purifies himself in his house, then comes to Masjid Quba and prays in it, he will have the reward of an Umrah.'
Masjid Quba is about 3.5 kilometers south of Nabi's Masjid, easily accessible by taxi, bus, or foot. The masjid has been expanded and modernized with beautiful white marble architecture and ample facilities.
To visit, perform wudhu at your accommodation, then travel to the masjid and pray two rak'ahs. Visiting on Saturday follows the Sunnah. Many tour operators include Quba in their Madinah ziyarah itinerary. The visit typically takes 30 to 60 minutes.
Whoever purifies himself in his house, then comes to Masjid Quba and prays in it, he will have the reward of an Umrah.
