Masjid Al Jhumma

Masjid Jummah is the mosque where the Prophet (pbuh) prayed his first Friday prayers in Medina.

The Prophet (pbuh) had travelled from Mecca to Medina during the hijra and had rested at Quba. He left Quba on his she-camel Qaswa and was approached by the local tribesmen. He took his time to greet them all and when the time of prayer neared, he was at the dwellings of Bani Salim ibn Awf. They were expecting the Prophet (pbuh) to honour them by accepting their hospitality, just like he had honoured their cousins in Quba. So the Prophet (pbuh) prayed at that place which later became Mosque of Bani Salim built by the companions of the Prophet (pbuh).

But due to the first jummah (Friday prayer) prayed there, it later became know as masjid al Jummah.
