The mosque dates to the 14th century, in the Mamluk period. It was probably built on the order of the Mamluk sultan al-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qalawun, which would make it the second mosque he commissioned in Tripoli after the Great Mosque.
Floods of the Abu Ali River damaged the building on several occasions. During the Ottoman period it was renovated by Emir Husayn ibn Yusuf Sayfa.
