On 30 May 1878, the Albanian Committee of Janina held a meeting led by Baba Alushi and Abdyl Frashëri, as a countermeasure for the decisions of the Treaty of San Stefano.

[5][2] During this period, the tekke served as a centre for the distribution of Albanian-language books (which was outlawed by the Ottoman Empire) and aided in spreading Albanian nationalist sentiment throughout the country, particularly during the leadership of Baba Alush.

During his stay, Grameno recorded that the tekke was superbly clean and orderly under the leadership of Baba Zejnel Abedin, who was described to be a true holy man who worked to help the poor.

At the First National Congress of the Bektashi, held on 14–17 January 1921 in the Teqe of Prishta in the Skrapar region, the tekke of Frashër was represented by Baba Mustafa.

[5][8] During the prohibition of religions from 1967 to 1991 in Communist Albania it stopped functioning, but was not destroyed due to being strongly associated with the patriotic deeds of Abdyl Frashëri and the League of Prizren.
