مسجد الجمعة
Masjid al-Jummah marks the location where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) performed the first Jummah (Friday) shalat during his migration from Mekkah to Madinah. Located in the Ranuna valley between Quba and central Madinah, Nabi stopped here when Friday shalat time arrived during his journey from Quba to Madinah, leading about 100 Muslims in shalat.
After spending several days at Quba upon his arrival from Mekkah, Nabi (PBUH) set out toward central Madinah on a Friday. When the time for shalat arrived, he was in the Ranuna valley in the area of Banu Salim ibn Awf. He stopped and led the first Friday shalat in Islamic history, delivering a khutbah to about 100 companions. This established the institution of Jummah shalat as a weekly congregational obligation. The masjid built at this location commemorates that historic shalat.
Masjid al-Jummah commemorates the establishment of Friday congregational shalat, one of the most important weekly institutions in Islam. The first Jummah shalat and khutbah represent the beginning of organized Muslim community life in Madinah, a foundational moment in Islamic history.
Masjid al-Jummah is located along the road between Masjid Quba and Masjid Nabawi, making it easy to include in a Quba visit. The masjid is relatively small but well-maintained. There are no specific rituals associated with visiting. It is a regular functioning masjid where daily shalat are held. The historical significance makes it a worthwhile stop for those interested in seerah (prophetic biography). Some organized ziyarah tours include this masjid in their itinerary.
