The first mosque built in Islam 🕌

When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) migrated from Mecca to Medina, his first stop on the way was Quba.
In Rabi’ al-Awwal, the year of the Hijra, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) participated with his Companions in building the first mosque in Islam: the Quba Mosque.

🌟 Why is the Quba Mosque so special?

It is the first mosque built in Islam.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) himself laid its first stone and participated with his Companions in its construction.

Indeed, a mosque founded on piety from the first day is more worthy for you to stand in it. (At-Tawbah: 108)

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to visit the Quba Mosque every Saturday and used to say: “Whoever purifies himself in his house and then comes to the Quba Mosque and prays there, will have a reward like that of an ‘Umrah.” (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi)

Hajar, a university student, read this story and said to herself:
“The Prophet ﷺ took his first step in Medina in the mosque… This means that our entire life should be filled with worship and closeness to God, even in the midst of studying and working.”

She decided to attend a seminar on the Prophet’s biography at a nearby mosque.
She stood in front of her closet and said:
“I want to wear modest clothing appropriate for mosques… like a loose abaya and a long veil.”
She chose a simple and comfortable outfit from Oswa.
