Explanation
– Masjid Quba was the first mosque built by the Prophet (PBUH), constructed shortly after his arrival on the outskirts of Madinah during the migration journey, before he proceeded to establish the central mosque within the city itself.
– Its construction reflected the immediate priority placed on establishing a place of communal worship.
– For exams, remember that Masjid an-Nabawi, the Prophet’s Mosque, was subsequently built at the site where his camel came to rest within Madinah proper.
