Praying at Masjid Quba
The first mosque built in Islam. The Prophet ﷺ visited it every Saturday, walking or riding.
- 1
Make wudu before you leave
Purify yourself where you are staying, then head to Quba. The Prophet ﷺ said whoever does this and prays there earns a reward like an Umrah.
- 2
Pray two rakʿahs
Pray at least two rakʿahs inside the mosque. Saturday mornings follow the Sunnah but are busiest; weekday mornings are calmer.

Remember its virtue
Quba was built when the Prophet ﷺ arrived in Madinah on the Hijrah. Many scholars link it to the Quran's “mosque founded on taqwa from the first day” (At-Tawbah 9:108).
Quran 9:108. Hadith: Sunan Ibn Majah 1412; Sahih al-Bukhari 1193.
