Praying two rak'ahs at Quba Mosque equals an Umrah
Quba Mosque is the first mosque built in Islam
It was named so because the Qiblah changed there from Jerusalem to the Kaaba during Dhuhr prayer in 2 AH (623 CE).
"The Prophet ﷺ and his companions prayed there after the Qiblah-changing verse was revealed."
Named after Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), the first Caliph and the closest companion of the Prophet ﷺ.
A cloud would always shade the Prophet ﷺ when he came to this spot.
