Changes After Construction
The mosque, which suffered from fires twice, was repaired in later years.
During the repair in 1721, a stone fountain in classical architecture was built next to the courtyard gate.
The masjid, which fell into disrepair again over time, was rebuilt with brick walls, a reinforced concrete ceiling and a roof by the public in 1977 and opened for worship.
Miralay Mazlum Bey, who resided in Aksaray, established the Mülhak Nukud Foundation in 1883 in order to cover the expenses of the mosque.
Within the scope of restoration work by Fatih Municipality in 2025, the gravestones were cleaned with appropriate mechanical and chemical methods and landscaping was carried out.
