The Quba Mosque (Quba' Masjid or Masjid al-Quba) just outside Medina, Saudi Arabia, is the first mosque ever built and the oldest mosque of Saudi Arabia. Its first stones were positioned by the Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wa sallam) on his emigration from the city of Mecca to Medina and the mosque was completed by his companions.The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wa sallam) spent more than 20 nights in this mosque (after migrating) praying qasr (a short prayer) while waiting for Ali whose house was behind this mosque.

According to Islamic tradition, offering 2 Raka'ahs of nafl prayers in the Quba Mosque is equal to performing one Umrah.
