Masjid Quba in Medina - Masjid Quba is the very first mosque of the Muslims. The Prophet Muhammad (sallalau'alaihiwassalam) and his companions built it with their own hands. This is the first mosque in the history of Islam whose foundation stone was laid down by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) himself on his migration to Madinah. To offer 2 rakaats of nafl in it is equal to one Umrah.

وَالَّذِينَ جَاهَدُوا فِينَا لَنَهْدِيَنَّهُمْ سُبُلَنَا وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمَعَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ

Those who struggle for Us - We shall guide them on Our paths, and Allah is with those who do what is beautiful. (Qur'an 29:69)
