[3] The shrine dates back to the 14th century and it contains two tombs, said to be of two sons of Ali ibn Abi Talib.

The site of the building was originally a Zoroastrian fire temple which was converted into a mosque during the Rashidun conquest of Persia.

[1] During the Ilkhanate era, the building was rebuilt into a shrine-mausoleum for Awn and Zayd, two sons of Ali ibn Abi Talib.

[3][2] The mosque and shrine were damaged in the events following the Battle of Chaldiran.

[2] Later on, the 1641 Tabriz earthquake completely destroyed the mosque and shrine.
