The First Masjid on Earth

Narrated Abu Dhar: I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Which mosque was first

built on the surface of the earth?" He said, "Al-Masjid-ul-,Haram (in Mecca)." I said, "Which was built next?" He replied "The mosque of Al-Aqsa ( in

Jerusalem) .“ I said, "What was the period of construction

between the two?“ He said, "Forty years." He added, "Wherever (you may be, and) the prayer

time becomes due, perform the prayer there, for the best thing is to do so (i.e. to offer the prayers in time)." (Bukhari :: Book 55 :: Hadith 585 )
