The project of the mosque was made by the architect Zivar bay Ahmadbayov, and the construction was sponsored by Haji Ajdar bey Ashurbeyov.

The Kanni-Tepe city quarter, where the mosque was built, was at the time filled by one-floor private houses.

An iwan is from the east of the prayer room, and a mihrab is from the south and the west.

It was made by Salman Atayev, who also worked on other buildings in Baku constructed in the 1910s.
