Panahali khan, the founder of the Karabakh khanate and Shusha castle, ordered it to be erected of reeds in about 1750, parallel to the Karabakh khan’s palace.
In the years following Ibrahimkhalil Khan’s ascension to power in 1768–1769,On the site of the old mosque, a new stone mosque was constructed.
On the same site, the third mosque with a double minaret was built, and in 1883, the fourth and final Juma mosque of Shusha was built at the expense of Govhar aga.
