The Quba Mosque (Quba' Masjid
or Masjid al-Quba) just outside Medina, Saudi Arabia, is
the first Islamic mosque that was ever built. Its first
stones were positioned by the prophet Muhammad on hijrah
(journey) from the city of Mecca ('Makkah') to Medina
and the masjid was completed by his companions. The
Prophet spent more than 20 nights in this mosque (after
migrating) praying qasr (short prayer) while waiting for
Imam Ali whose house was behind this mosque.
It is mentioned in the Qur'an as the mosque founded on
piety and devoutness (Masjid al-Taqwa):
'Never stand in it; certainly a masjid founded on piety
from the very first day is more deserving that you
should stand in it; in it are men who love that they
should be purified; and Allah loves those who purify
themselves.' (At-Tawbah Sura 9:108).
