Madinah (Antara) -About 30 minutes before Dhuhur -A group of worshipers from Indonesia entered the courtyard of the Qba mosque, in the hot sun that started to get hot and the skin poked.
Two people from the group then walked faster to leave the other group behind. The two people immediately stepped into a collection of pigeons in the courtyard of the mosque.
Only cash, dozens of birds flying when they both passed, but dozens of other birds stayed in court.
A person who happens to put shelter on the side of the right building then approached the two people and offers bird food.
‘Bird food. Bird food. Please, “the man said as he offered bird food. He recognized the two of Indonesia because some groups used black song chef who had been a characteristic of Indonesia.
This group went directly to the washing place on the side. Some stopped at the toilet before they pray.
Wawan Irawan, a Hajj from Jakarta, said he stopped at the Quba mosque before the Dhuhur prayer and the Sunnah prayer before he went to the Nabawi mosque.
“Masya Allah. The Serene was in the time of worship, especially we traveled only four hours from Jeddah by car,” Wawan said when she met after the Dhuhur prayer.
Don’t forget Wawan and read the blessings of greetings to the Prophet Mohammed.
In addition to Wawan, Hardi, a pilgrimage of Gresik, Oost -Java said he wanted to take the prayer in the mosque because the mosque was very special because it was made a mosque by the Prophet Mohammed.
“I came from Mecca. The group with 14 people. Everyone came here,” he said.
While Sudrajat, Hajj van Bogor, West Java, said that the arrival of the Quba mosque was the second time afterwards to the mosque in 2014.
“I think it was quite small in 2014 than what was seen now. The washing place was good. I used to be here, where the washing is still under a palm tree,” he said.
What Wawan, Hardi and Sudrajat said earlier, could be an indication that the Quba mosque became one of the destinations of pilgrims and Umrah from Indonesia.
Pilgrims from Indonesia seemed to want to answer the desire to participate in the prayer where the prophet Mohammed established a mosque for the first time.
They want to quote the battle of the prophet Mohammed when migrating, including setting up a mosque now in 3493 Al Hijrah RD, Al Khatim, Madinah
One can be said, this mosque is a mosque that must be visited during Hajj and Umrah for Indonesian citizens after the great mosque in Mecca and the Nabawi mosque in Medina.
In general, the condition of the QBA mosque is almost the same as the mosque in general in Saudi Arabia. This mosque also has security officers who continue to monitor or lead worshipers who want to come in.
If we can enter the big mosque without removing shoes, but with the QBA mosque, officers will be reprimanded as visitors to not remove footwear.
The mosque offers shelves to place sandals and shoes on the outside of the mosque. Some visitors are also quite “naughty” because they put shoes directly on the shelf, but on the floor.
The wash and toilet areas are also often cleaned by officers. In fact, the guards of this area also offer tissue that there are people who have to wipe their hands. The condition of the bathroom therefore remains clean.
In addition to having a prayer room as a main room, the building that is dominated by White Bone has a supporting space including the secretariat room, shop, library.
The atmosphere in the prayer room feels cool, although it is hot in the garden, although the main door of the mosque is always open as if he wants to welcome worshipers who keep coming and worshiping.
The mosque that is able to house 66 thousand prayers now has 4 towers, six umbrella organizations, two main doors for male worshipers and a main door of female worshipers.
This mosque is the first mosque to be built in the world. The Prophet Mohammed built a mosque while he stopped on the journey of Hijrah from Mecca to Medina on September 23, 662 AD.
The first stone was placed by the prophet Mohammed, then and the next development was completed by his companions. This mosque is still being renovated to the current condition.
Called the Quba -Moskee, because it used to be the place with the name Quba Village, which is still about 7 km from Medina (previously called Yathrib). But now the region is included in the Medina region.
Another thing that is special. This mosque is the QBA mosque, a mosque is built based on piety, as mentioned in the Koran Surat in Taubah verse 108. The interpreters say that the mosque referred in this verse is the Qba mosque.
In the history of the Hadith, the Prophet Mohammed also often mentioned this mosque every Saturday.
Although not directly related, the QBA mosque has a close relationship with the implementation of Friday prayers. After starting the construction of the QBA mosque, the prophet Mohammed and his companions continued their journey to the city of M Yathrib, as the final destination of migrating.
The journey started on Friday morning. Prior to the afternoon prayer, the prophet Mohammed and his entourage arrived in a valley. In the valley, the prophet Mohammed invited the companions and Muslims to carry out Friday prayers in the municipality.
The moment became the first history of the prophet to carry out Friday prayers with other Muslims. After the prayer is complete, he closed it by closing a sermon. Now, a mosque is built at that location called the Friday mosque or al-Jum’ah-mosque.
With this specialty it is not wrong if this mosque is one of the locations that have been visited for pilgrims and Umrah.
In the mosque we will remember the battle of the prophet Mohammed who took 28 days of travel, including hiding three days in Goa Tsur to prevent the Quraish that were hostile to the Prophet Mohammed and the Muslims.
One of the traces of the prophet Mohammed who was clearly visible so far is the QBA mosque.
