Масджид Куба - Медина

Masjid Al-Quba was the first mosque built by Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H) and was located originally on this site. The new mosque has a generic modern design that is similar to all other mosques. The old historic structure has been completely demolished and a new modern structure has been built on the same site, destroying the history and significance of the mosque.

Masjid Quba (Arabic: مسجد قباء) is where the Prophet (ﷺ), accompanied by Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنه), first stayed in Madinah after emigrating from Makkah. They arrived on Monday 12th Rab’i al-Awwal, fourteen years after Prophethood and this date marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar (Hijra), (16th July 622 CE). A mosque was established here by the Prophet (ﷺ), the first to be built in Islam. The virtue of Masjid Quba is mentioned in the following Quranic verse in Surah Taubah: “…certainly a masjid founded on piety from the very first day is more deserving that you should stand in it…” [9:108] The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “He who purifies himself at his home and comes to Masjid Quba and offers two rakats therein, will be rewarded the reward of an Umrah (lesser pilgrimage).” [Sunan ibn Majah]. It was a time of great joy from both sides. The Prophet (ﷺ) addressed them saying: “O People, give unto one another greetings of peace; feed the people; strengthen the ties of kinship, pray in the hours when others are asleep. Even so shall ye enter paradise in peace.” On arriving in the village of Quba after the blessed Hijra (migration), the Prophet (ﷺ) stayed for several days in the house of Kulthoom bin Hadm (رضي الله عنه) and laid the foundations of Masjid Quba on his land. Prior to the migration of the Prophet (ﷺ) the Muslims sometimes offered their Friday prayers at the house of Sa’ad ibn Khaithamah (رضي الله عنه) which was close by. The location of this house was included in the modern day extension of Masjid Quba but the location of the house of Kulthoom bin Hadm (رضي الله عنه) is marked by a few boulders to the south-west of Masjid Quba. The Prophet (ﷺ) personally carried stones, rocks and sand with his companions for the construction work. Al-Tabarani quoted Al-Shimous Bint Al-Nuaman as saying, “I saw the Prophet when he constructed this mosque. He used to carry stones and rocks on his back until it was bent. I also saw dust on his dress and belly. But when one of his companions would come to take the load off him, he would say no and ask the companion to go and carry a similar load instead.”

I recently had the opportunity to visit Masjidil Quba and I must say that it was an absolutely amazing experience. I would rate it 5 out of 5 stars without any hesitation. Firstly, the architecture and design of the mosque are simply breathtaking. The intricate details and craftsmanship that went into building this mosque are truly commendable. The exterior is beautifully adorned with intricate patterns and calligraphy, while the interior is equally stunning with its high ceilings, elegant chandeliers, and beautiful carpeting. Secondly, the atmosphere inside the mosque is incredibly peaceful and serene. As soon as you step foot inside, you can feel a sense of tranquility wash over you. The spacious prayer hall allows for comfortable prayer and reflection, while the soft lighting creates a soothing ambiance. Furthermore, the facilities at Masjidil Quba are top-notch. The mosque is well-maintained and clean, with separate areas for ablution (wudu) that are equipped with modern amenities. There are also ample parking spaces available for visitors, making it convenient for everyone to access. The staff at Masjidil Quba were extremely friendly and welcoming. They were always ready to assist visitors with any questions or concerns they may have had. Their warm hospitality added to the overall positive experience of visiting this mosque. Lastly, Masjidil Quba holds great historical significance as it is known as the first mosque ever built by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This adds a special aura to the place and makes it even more meaningful for Muslims around the world. In conclusion, my visit to Masjidil Quba was truly memorable. From its stunning architecture to its peaceful atmosphere and excellent facilities, everything about this mosque exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend visiting Masjidil Quba if you ever have the chance – it is truly a remarkable place deserving of 5 out of 5 stars.
