The concept for the mosque as well as its financing was provided by an Azeri female philanthropist, Nabat Khanum Ashurbeyova (Ashurbeyli).

In addition, due to breakout of Balkan War in 1911, Tsarist Russia had strictly controlled the activities of banks in Baku, assuming that Muslim millionaires could help the Ottoman Empire so that the Baku millionaires had to get the approval of officials from the Tsarist Department for the amount to be spent on the construction of Taza Pir Mosque.

[citation needed] Azerbaijani national industrial magnate and philanthropist, Haji Zeynalabdin Taghiyev, also actively attended in the construction process of the mosque.

Architect Zivar bey Ahmedbayov designed the interior of the mosque in accordance with architectural examples of the Muslim East.

The Taza Pir Mosque was considered an entirely new stage, not only in the urban structure of Baku but also in the religious buildings of Absheron, due to architectural features.

After restoration processes, the mosque provided with a ventilation system and its floor covered Namazgah carpet in which 720 people can worship at the same time.

Written on the dome, six times, in Arabic are the words La ilaha ilallah, taken from the Muslim proclamation of faith or Shahada, made from Qızılqaya (Gyzylgaya) stone.
