Masjid Quba in Madina Munwwarah

Visit Masjid Quba in Madinah Munawwarah

After Masjid Haram, Masjid Nabawi and Masjid Al Aqsa, Masjid Quba is superior to all other Masjid of the world. In Madinah Munawwarah, the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) first offered Salaat in this Masjid. 2 Raka’at offered here have the reward of 1 ‘Umrah. There is a Hadith in Sunan Ibn Majah:

Translation of Hadith: Whoever comes to Masjid Quba from their house in a pure ( Taharah ) state and offers 2 Raka’at, will be given the reward of 1 ‘Umrah.

It is Mustahab (commendable) that on the morning of Saturday, one should visit Masjid Quba. The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) would often visit the Masjid on this day.

This Masjid is a bit far from Madinah Munawwarah. One may go on foot or use a vehicle.

It is Afdhal to perform Wuzu from the house and offer 2 Raka’at in the Mihrab of Masjid Quba. One may offer another 2 Raka’at, the first of Tahiyyatul Masjid and the 2nd for the reward of the ‘Umrah.
