History

The present structure is dated to a late period. The domes over Abd Allah ibn Jabir, Hudhayfa ibn al-Yaman and Ali al-Tahir, as well as the dome of the Imam al-Hasan al-Askari mosque within the complex, were built in 1997. The domes were later targeted by rocket fire from militant groups.
After Iraq established separate Sunni and Shia endowment offices, the mosque was taken out of the Sunni endowment and placed under Shia management.
