My another favourite place in Madinah besides An Nabawi Mosque. I'll never be tired to get back again and again. You can take bus or cab to get here. It takes about 15 minutes from the centre Madeena. According to Islamic tradition, performing Wudu' ('Ablution') in one's home then offering two Rakaat (Optional) prayers in the Quba Mosque is equal to performing one Umrah. Muhammad used to go there, riding or on foot, every Saturday and offer a two raka'at-prayer. He advised others to do the same, saying, "Whoever makes ablutions at home and then goes and prays in the Mosque of Quba, he will have a reward like that of an 'Umrah."
