Background
• The first mosque in the world, hence the oldest.
• Its first stones were positioned by the Islamic prophet, Muhammad.
• The mosque was subsequently completed by his companions.
• The mosque was built just outside of Madinah.
• Muhammad spent more than 20 nights in this mosque after migrating, praying qasr while waiting for Ali, who was was settling Muhammad’s affairs back in Mecca.
• Ali then left on foot and met up with the
Prophet in Quba.
• Muhammad made it a habit to come to the Quba Mosque every Saturday, either riding his camel or on foot and offer two raka’at prayers.
• According to the Islamic tradition, performing wudu in one’s home and performing two raka’āt prayers in the Quba mosque is equivalent to performing one Umrah.
• With this, Muhammad advised the other Muslims to do the same.
• Umrah is a pilgrimage to Mecca performed by Muslims that can be done at anytime. Umrah basically means ‘ to visit a populated place ‘.
• Throughout the centuries, the Muslims have given the Quba Mosque much attention.
• The mosque was renovated by a number of caliphs of different periods such as Caliph Uthman bin Affan, Caliph Omar bin Abdul Aziz and also Abu Yali Al-Husaini.
• In the year 555 AH, several additions were made to the mosque by Kamal Al-Din Al-Isfahani. Successive renovations of the mosque took place in the years 671, 733, 840, 881 AH
• The latest changes to the mosque were made in the era of Sultan Abdul Majid during the time of the Ottoman Empire.
• When Abdel-Wahed El-Wakil was
commissioned, in the 20th century, to conceive a larger mosque, he intended to incorporate the old structure into his design. But the old mosque was torn down and replaced with a new one.
