---

"The Quba Mosque is the first mosque ever to be built in Islam. The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) himself set its plan when he arrive in old quarter of the Medinian clan (Bani Amr ibn Auf) on his way from Mecca (Makkah) to Medina. Since then, has been renewed many times, the last one done by King Fahd bin Abdu Alaziz Al Saud in 1985. Although The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) eventually settled in Medina and established his mosque there, he used to pay weekly visit to Quba Mosque.". and 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 hadith is reported by Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Al-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah and Hakim al-Nishaburi. It is noted that Quba Mosque mentioned in the Holy Quran, the 9th Surah (Chapter), verse number 108 : {...the mosque whose foundation was laid from the first day on piety is more worthy that you stand therein (to pray). In it are men who love to clean and to purify themselves. And Allah loves those who make themselves clean and pure}
