[1] Saiyid Usmān, also known as Sham-i-Burhāni was a disciple and successor of Qutub-ul Ālam, aka Saiyad Burhān-ud-din.

Saiyid Usmān was a prominent Sufi saint, and lived along with his teacher in the village of Vatva outside Ahmedabad.

Saiyid Usmān died in 1459 and the mausoleum dedicated to him was built by Sultan Mahmud Begada in 1460.

[4] The mosque was heavily damaged in 2001 Gujarat earthquake, and was restored by Archaeological Survey of India in 2009.

This change gives much variety and the tomb is altogether the most successful sepulchral design carried out in the pillared style at Ahmedabad.
