The first religious Waqf in Medina, the Quba Mosque was built on arrival of the Prophet (pbuh) to the city of Medina in the first year of Hijrah (Migration of the Prophet from Mecca to Medina in 622AD). Today the mosque stands on the same site, though is much expanded.
It is mentioned in the Qur’an as the mosque founded on piety and devoutness. |
