Masjid Quba

Reviewed By BATKOO - Dubai, United Arab Emirates

When Prophet Muhammad (Peace & Blessings be upon him) migrated from Makkah to Madinah , Quba is the place on the outskirts of Madinah where the Prophet (Peace & blessings be upon him), accompanied by Sayedina Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived and first stayed and built the first Masjid of Islam.My first visit to this historical Masjid was in 1982.It was small but had its own reverence and awe.In my recent visit in February 2019,I found a new Masjid has been constructed which is much bigger than the original one and is reasonably impressive.An authentic Hadith states that who ever offers two rakahs of voluntary prayers in this Masjid, he gets a reward equal to one Umrah.I was lucky enough this time that I not only offered many voluntary prayers but got the privilege of offering Duhr in congelation.The Masjid was almost full including its court yard.The expansion is impressive but wash rooms are very substandard and very poorly maintained.They need to be upgraded and maintained properly.It also needs a proper eating place to be provided to enable pilgrims spend more time in this Historical Place.

Nothing special here about the building , but a good place to come if you want to pray On Friday in a big clean Mosque, or to attend a lecture, it will be crowded and difficult to park your car.

The most stunning place in the world. The best time for performing Umrah is from October till March, as the weather is very cool and pleasant for the pilgrimage.
