Arabic sources state that the mosque was first built in the seventh year of the Hijra (629 CE). The presence of a mihrab facing Jerusalem, the direction of prayer in the earliest period, suggests that the layout goes back to an older structure; the German source considers this predecessor probably to date from the 7th century.
The mosque was last rebuilt and restored in 936 AH (1529 CE), a date said to be indicated by its mihrab. It is reported to have kept its form since then. Over the centuries it became a centre of learning of influence in Oman, where many scholars and men of letters were trained.
The building continues to be used for prayer today.
