Sejarah
Konstruksi
Masjid ini dibangun oleh arsitek Karbalayi Safikhan Karabakhi dari tahun 1868 hingga 1870. Masjid tersebut dibangun dengan gaya khas untuk masjid di wilayah Karabakh, termasuk pembagian kolom batu pada galeri berlantai dua dan penggunaan langit-langit berkubah. Masjid lainnya dalam gaya ini termasuk Masjid Barda, Masjid Govharaga di Shusha, sebuah masjid di Fizuli dan satu di desa Goradiz.[2]
Nagorno-Karabakh War
After Khojaly's invasion by Karabakh-Armenia forces on 29 February of 1992, 200 bodies were first placed in this mosque.[3] However, according to mosque's director Seyid Sadiqov, the mosque had 477 corpses.[4]
Current state
Among the Aghdam's residential buildings, the mosque is one of the best preserved. Azerbaijani sources, however, report that the roof and attic of the mosque have been pulled down, while windows, doors, interior finish, even the marble floor have been destroyed.[5]
In June 2010 Andrei Galafyev, a photographer who visited the mosque in 2007, reported that "The floor in the mosque is entirely dirtied with manure of cattle, which wanders on the ruins of Agdam in daytime.”[6] His photographs showed cattle within the mosque. This report generated criticism from Azerbaijani newspapers and a Turkish organization, who complained that the mosque is being used as a cowshed and pigpen. [6]
In November 2010 the government of Nagorno-Karabakh informed that the mosque and its surroundings were cleaned.[7] They also announced that the mosque of Agdam, as well as the mosques of Shusha, have been refurbished.[1]
