1 . This is the first mosque of Islam and has very spiritual importance. In holy Quran it is said that the foundation of this mosque is laid on “Taqva” (Sincerity).
2 . Masjid-al-Haram, (The second and last Qibla),
Masjid-al-Aqsa (The first Qibla) and Masjid-e-Nabvi (The Haram of the Last
Prophet – S. A. W.) are three main mosques of the world which have their
religious values amd importance. Besides these Mosques (HARAMS), rest of
the mosques all over the world have only hitorical importance. In the list
of historic mosques, Quba is on the top. In other words we may say that
Masjid-e-Quba has fourth spiritual mosque of the world (Masjid-al-Haram,
Masjid-al-Aqsa and Masjid-al-Nabvi are the 1st , 2nd and 3rd respectively,
and the fourth is Masjid-al-Quba). According to sayings of Prophet (S.
A. W.)
“The Reward of a Prayer in Quba Mosque is Just
Like a Reward of One Umra”.
When Muslims under the leadership of Prophet (S. A. W.) were going to perform Umra before conquering Makkah, Quresh did not allow them to enter in Makkah. Muslims had to stop at Hudabia. (If you travel from Jeddah to Makkah by road, you will see a big RAHAL over the highway. It is very near to Hudabia and now a days non muslims are not allowed to go beyond this point. Here a police check post is made for checking the identity and passports).

. Quba is situated two miles from Masjid-e-Nabvi and taxis , outside
Haram take pilgrims to show all Madina’s religious spots in which Quba
is included. Yellow cabs take 10 Riyals per person to show all historical,
religious spots. This mosque can be visited any day in any time but Saturday
visit is said more rewardable.
5 . Now, this mosque is beautifully constructed.
Basic contruction of this mosque was done by Turks. But Saudi government
decorated it beautifully. In the courtyard of this mosque a Mehrab is built
where the verses of Quran was delivered to Prophet (S. A. W.). Ladies
and gents enterance are separate. Ultra modern washrooms are built for
pilgrims.
