Medina, Saudi Arabia

The Quba Mosque is a mosque in the outlying environs of Medina, Saudi Arabia. Depending on whether the Mosque of the Companions in the Eritrean city of Massawa is older or not, it may be the first mosque in the world that dates to the lifetime of the Islamic Nabī Muhammad in the 7th century CE, and depending on whether the religion of Islam started with him or preceded him, it is either the first mosque in the history of Islam, or it is not the first, with the Great Mosques of Mecca and Jerusalem being older, due to their association with earlier Prophets in Islam, especially Abraham. According to legend, its first stones were positioned by Muhammad as soon as he arrived on his emigration from the city of Mecca to Medina, and the mosque was completed by his companions. Muhammad spent 14 days in this mosque praying qaṣr while waiting for Ali to arrive in Medina after the latter stayed behind in Mecca to carry out a couple of tasks entrusted to him by the Prophet.According to Islamic tradition, performing Wuḍū’ in one's home then offering two Rakaʿāṫ of Nafl prayers in the Quba Mosque is equal to performing one ‘Umrah . Muhammad used to go there, riding or on foot, every Saturday and offer a two rakaʿāt prayer. He advised others to do the same, saying, Whoever makes ablutions at home and then goes and prays in the Mosque of Quba, he will have a reward like that of an 'Umrah. This ḥadīth was reported by Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Al-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah and Hakim al-Nishaburi.
