Quba Mosque

Quba Mosque, Mosque in Medina, Saudi Arabia

Quba Mosque is a house of prayer in Medina with white and beige stone walls, several domes, and tall minarets. The large prayer halls inside offer space for thousands of visitors at once.

Prophet Muhammad founded this house of prayer in 622 during his journey from Mecca to Medina. It stands as the first mosque in Islamic history.

Many worshippers come here because prayer at this location carries special spiritual meaning according to Islamic tradition. The connection between the prayer hall and the early days of the faith shapes visits to this day.

The building sits about three kilometers from central Medina and has separate areas for men and women. Visitors should wear modest clothing and be mindful of prayer times when coming here.

A major construction project is currently expanding the capacity significantly while preserving historical sites nearby. The work combines modern engineering with traditional building methods to maintain the character of the place.
