Bab Quba in the Saudi Expansion

Bab Quba is a gate from the Saudi era and one of the two main entrances on the south side of the King Fahd expansion; each has three adjoining doors. Its name refers to Quba, a village on the southern edge of Madinah where the historic Quba Mosque stands. Bab Quba is entrance 5, listed with three adjoining doors; a Saudi newspaper list names them 5A, 5B and 5C.

In 17 AH (638 CE), Sayyiduna Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) enlarged the mosque after buying the houses around it. The enlargement extended the mosque west, south and north, but not east, where the rooms of the Prophet’s ﷺ wives (may Allah be pleased with them) stood. The mosque measured 140 by 120 cubits, about 4,088 square metres; the Saudi Press Agency counts the addition as about 1,100 square metres.

King Fahd bin Abdulaziz (may Allah have mercy on him) laid the foundation stone of the second Saudi expansion on 2 November 1984 (1405 AH), and it was completed in 1414 AH (1993-94 CE). The King Fahd expansion has two more main entrances on the south side, each with three adjoining doors, within a total of 41 numbered entrances.
