Rehabilitation and Architecture

In the era of the Zangid dynasty, they took care of the mosque, and of all the facilities in the city. They renewed its architecture in 543 AH / 1149 AD by Saif ad-Din Ghazi, son of Imad Al-Din Zangi. The mosque, at that time, was called the ancient mosque, as a name to distinguish it from the new mosque – Al-Nuri Mosque. Presently, the mosque is quite small; only Friday prayers are held.
