Moulay Ismail (ruled 1672–1727) remodeled the mihrab area and gifted the mosque with its current minbar, its anaza, and some of the fountains in its courtyard.

The mihrab itself is decorated with carved and painted stucco and dates from the remodeling under Moulay Ismail (ruled 1672–1727).

[2] In the northern section of the mosque is a large courtyard (sahn) with a central fountain to assist in ablutions.

[2] From the courtyard the prayer hall can be entered through any of the surrounding arches, but the middle arch on the southern side of the courtyard, opposite the mosque entrance and corresponding to the archway of the central nave leading towards the mihrab, is surrounded by rich carved and painted stucco decoration.

[5]: 287–288 The exterior of the mosque is largely obscured by the surrounding buildings and the dense urban fabric of the old city.

The current minaret dates from the reign of the Alaouite sultan Moulay Mohammed ben Abdallah (ruled 1757–1790).
