The mosque was built between 1303-1336 by `Abul-Hasan
`Ali who ruled Telemcen between 1331 and 1348.
Commentators [such as Marcais (1954) and Hoag (1987)]
asserted that the mosque was modeled on Hasan Mosque of Rabat in terms
of size (197x 279 feet), the use of stone columns, and the Qiblah wall
proceeded with three parallel aisles while the remaining aisles were
perpendicular to the Qiblah.
The minaret conformed with the other Almohad minarets,
described above, but had a remarkably larger horseshoe gate.
