Quba Mosque, Madinah
The Quba mosque is located in the south-west of Medina. Its present dome was said to have been the blessed place where the she-camel of the Messenger of Allah SAW knelt first down. There is an old stone inscribed in Kufic script that shows the history of reconstruction of this important Mosque by one of the Ashraf (the descendants of the Prophet) written in the year 435H. The indoor section of the mosque is in the form of several domes, and it had six galleries. It is located about half an hour of moderate walk away from the Holy Prophet's Mosque.
