God wanted Medina to be the first cradle from which Islam took the basis for building his community after he immigrated to it. The Quba Mosque was the first building block of a new civilization that was based on piety from the first day.
(The mosque) became the first thing that came to the minds of Muslims when they planned a city, a year that their Prophet enacted, and they followed it after him. And the distinctive character of this civilization has become, expressing its close connection with the Lord of this universe, and marking its mission that it must undertake in this world.
The verses: (Read in the name of your Lord who created. Created man from a clot. Read and your Lord is the Most Generous. He who taught with the pen. The knowledge of man unless he knows) motivates Muslims to learn to read and write, and they are two strong ways to take the causes of knowledge and the nations rise from the depths of ignorance and stagnation into life . The first place for that was the mosque, and the authentic hadiths continued to direct the minds of the people to take the mosque as a school in which they learn what matters to them from knowledge, and gain knowledge, such as his saying, peace be upon him, (Whoever enters this mosque to learn good and teach him is like a mujahid for the sake of God. And he said in another hadith: (When a people gather in one of the houses of God, reciting and studying the Book of God among them, tranquility will not descend upon them, and they are covered with mercy and boxing.
It is not surprising that the mosque is a popular university in which he teaches lessons and sermons for men and women alike, taking all his mental capabilities and self-esteem. And each of them has the right to seek the mosque in order to fulfill the noble hadith (Do not prevent the slaves of God from the mosques of God).
History has preserved for us a wonderful example of the participation of women in the gatherings of gratitude and in the halls of the mosque, as Caliph Umar, may God be pleased with him, raised an orator saying: (Are they not overreacting in the charity of women, for if they were honorable in this world or piety with God, the Messenger of God, may Gods prayers be upon him, would have been the first to you. And peace ...) Then a woman arose and said: Oh Omar, God gives us and forbids us, does God Almighty not say: (... and you brought one of them a vantage, so do not take anything from him) and Umar ponder what she said, so he discerns the correctness of her saying, so he says: A woman has hit and Omar is wrong.
The mosque was during the era of prophethood, and it continued in the early ages of Islam as the center of intellectual, educational, moral, literary and social guidance ... and it was an institute of knowledge, in which the Companions and their followers graduated. And in which the measure was the confrontation major events. And from it Muslim armies set off, and brigades of princes were held. And from it were issued fatwas that ruled life and its problems to be, and in it was the judgment of the Messenger and his companions, and the reception of delegations and the conclusion of treaties and charters of peace. And in it, the Messengers books were issued to kings and rulers.
