The mosque is one of the oldest Islamic places of worship in Mogadishu. It was built circa 667 (1260/1 CE), concurrently with the Fakr ad-Din Mosque. Arba'a Rukun's mihrab contains an inscription dated from the same year, which commemorates the name of the mosque's founder, Khusra ibn Mubarak al-Shirazi (Khusrau ibn Muhammed).[2]
