Quba Mosque

The first mosque built in Islam. Allah revealed this verse about it: “A mosque founded on righteousness from the first day is more worthy for you to stand in” (9:108). The Prophet ﷺ used to visit it and pray in it every Saturday.

Masjid Abu Bakr as-Siddiq

A historic mosque in the al-Musalla area, a few minutes from the Prophet's Mosque. It stands in the area where the Prophet ﷺ used to pray the two Eid prayers and the prayer for rain (istisqa). Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) prayed the Eid prayer here during his caliphate.

The Seven Mosques

A group of historic mosques west of Mount Sal', at the site of the Battle of the Trench (al-Khandaq). The best known is Masjid al-Fath, where the Prophet ﷺ made supplication (du'a) for three days in a row until his du'a was answered.
