The mosque was built in the 17th century by Murad Ali, an architect and high-ranking master, under the command of Bakhshali bin Sheikh Muzaffar during the reign of Shah Abbas II.

As a continuation of the square-shaped prayer hall in the Haji Bakhshali Mosque, a mosque with an open roof was also built. There is no analogue of this mosque, which performs "Istisga" prayers (rain and holiday prayers), not only in Absheron, but also in Azerbaijan. Such mosques can be found only in Arab countries. Two stone inscriptions are engraved on the entrance door of the mosque.
