Did you know Prophet Muhammad ﷺ visited Masjid Quba every Saturday? Over 1,400 years ago, during the historic Hijrah from Makkah to Madinah, Rasulullah ﷺ stayed in Quba and helped establish the first mosque founded after his migration. But what makes this beautiful mosque even more remarkable is that he continued returning to it long after settling in Madinah. Welcome to Episode 8 of Retracing the Hijrah, our Islamic history series following Saudi Arabia’s Ala Khutah (على خطاه) route from Makkah to Madinah. 🕌 THE HISTORY OF MASJID QUBA Masjid Quba (مسجد قباء) is one of the most historically significant mosques in Islam. When Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (RA) arrived near Madinah during the Hijrah in 622 CE, they stopped at Quba before continuing into the city. According to the Seerah, Rasulullah ﷺ stayed in Quba for several days and helped establish a mosque alongside his companions. This became the first mosque founded after the Hijrah and remains one of the most important landmarks in Madinah. 🌙 WHY DID THE PROPHET ﷺ VISIT MASJID QUBA EVERY SATURDAY? Many people visiting Madinah know Masjid Quba as the first mosque established after the Hijrah. But did you know the Prophet ﷺ continued returning here regularly? According to Sahih al-Bukhari 1193, Abdullah ibn Umar (RA) narrated that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to visit Masjid Quba every Saturday, sometimes walking and sometimes riding. Even after establishing his home and community in Madinah, Rasulullah ﷺ maintained a special connection with this historic mosque. THE REWARD OF PRAYING AT MASJID QUBA The Prophet ﷺ also taught about the virtue of praying at Masjid Quba. A hadith recorded in Sunan Ibn Majah 1412 describes the reward of someone who purifies themselves at home, then comes to Masjid Quba and performs salah there, as being like the reward of Umrah. This is a virtue of prayer at Masjid Quba, not a replacement for the actual rites of Umrah. Whether you’re visiting Madinah for Umrah, Hajj, or Ziyarah, Masjid Quba is a beautiful location to include in your journey. ⛰️ RETRACING THE HIJRAH — ALA KHUTAH Saudi Arabia’s Ala Khutah experience brings visitors through locations associated with the historical migration of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
