The Quba Mosque is a mosque located in Medina, in
the Hejaz region
of Saudi Arabia, first built in the
lifetime of the Islamic prophet Muhammad in
the 7th century C.E. It is thought to be the first mosque in the world,
established on the first day of Muhammad's emigration to
Medina. Its first stone is said to have been laid by the prophet, and the
structure completed by his companions.
The mosque was subsequently modified across the centuries until the 1980s, when
it was completely replaced by a new building that stands today.
According to historical Islamic texts, during the hijrah (migration)
of Muhammad from Mecca to Medina (Yathrib),
he stopped in the village of Quba' near Medina. Depending on the sources, he
stayed there for 3 to 22 days. Two different accounts of the mosque's
foundation exist in relation to this event. In one, Muhammad founded the mosque
himself, though there are varying explanations for how the site was chosen: it
was either a mirbad (place for drying dates) that belonged to
Muhammad's host, Kulthum, or it was the place where a woman named Labba had
tethered her donkey. Another version, probably a later legend inspired by the
foundation story of the Prophet's Mosque in Medina, tells that Muhammad made Ali get
on a camel and then built the mosque where the camel went. Muhammad is said to
have laid the first stone himself, with the next ones laid by Abu Bakr,

Umar and Uthman. He
is also said to have visited the mosque every Saturday afterwards and conducted
religious service there. In another account, the mosque had been built
prior to Muhammad's arrival by the first Muslim emigrants from Mecca and some
of the Ansar of Medina.
Muhammad then prayed in the mosque with them.
