    (Translated by Google) The history of the pilgrimage goes back to ancient times, the 14th-15th centuries. Researchers confirm that the mosque, located under the deep rocks of the mosque, was owned by Abu Sayyid Abdullay, a prominent scholar and ancestor of the time. Until the middle of the last century, the location of the shrine was known as "Khalifa". [2] Now, this is the area where the Taepir Mosque is located. Over time, the tomb of Abu Sayyid Abdulla was devastated. However, people who believed in the beauty of the pirin did not allow it to be completely destroyed. The shrine was renovated from time to time by the Baku nobility. In 1817, the son-in-law of the last khan Huseyngulu khan, Huseyngulu khan, rebuilt the Kasim Bey Mosque. The original construction of the temple began in the early 20th century. Nearly 90 years after the major restoration of the mosque, Ashurbeyli-Rzayeva, a wealthy believer, began to build a new shrine on the ground of a one-storey mosque. It is said that this woman, a descendant of Seid Yahya Bakuvi, has promised to build such a mosque, and remains true to the covenant and sells it to the final jewelry. Due to the fact that a new mosque was built on the mausoleum, it is still known as the Tazepir Mosque. The mosque was built on July 23, 1905, by Zivarbey Ahmadbayov's project, funded by Nabat Ashurbeyli-Rzayeva. (Original) Ziyarətgahın tarixi olduqca qədimlərə, XIV-XV əsrlərə gedib çıxır. Tədqiqatçılar təsdiq edirlər ki, məscidin dərin suxur qatları altında mövcud olan türbəsi, zəmanəsinin görkəmli alimi və övliyası Əbu Seyid Abdullaya məxsus olub. Ziyarətgahın yerləşdiyi məkan ötən əsrin ortalarına qədər "Xəlfədam" adı ilə tanınırdı.[2] Hazırda isə bu yer Təzəpir məscidinin yerləşdiyi ərazidir. Zaman keçdikcə Əbu Seyid Abdullanın türbəsi dağıntılara məruz qalıb. Lakin pirin kəramətinə böyük etiqad göstərən insanlar onun tamamilə dağılmasına imkan verməyiblər. Ziyarətgah zaman-zaman Bakı əsilzadələri tərəfindən təmir olunub. 1817-ci ildə sonuncu Bakı xanı Hüseynqulu xanın kürəkəni Qasım bəy məscidi əsaslı bərpa etdirib. İbadətgahın əsl tikintisi isə XX əsrin əvvəllərində başlayıb. Belə ki, məscidin əsaslı bərpasından təxminən 90 il sonra zəngin möminlərdən sayılan Nabat xanım Xocabəy qızı Aşurbəyli-Rzayeva birmərtəbəli məscid binasının yerində yeni ibadətgahın tikintisinə başlayır. Deyilənlərə görə, Seyid Yəhya Bakuvinin nəslindən olan bu qadın belə bir məscid tikdirməyi əhd edibmiş və əhdinə sadiq qalaraq, sonunucu zinət əşyasına qədər satıb binanın inşa etdirir. Türbə üzərində yeni məscid tikildiyinə görə xalq arasında bu günə qədər də bu tikili Təzəpir məscidi adlanır. Məscid Nabat Aşurbəyli-Rzayevanın vəsaiti ilə Zivərbəy Əhmədbəyovun layihəsi əsasında 23 iyul 1905-ci ildə tikilib.

Researchers confirm that the tomb of the mosque, which existed under the deep rock layers, belonged to Abu Sayyid Abdullah, a prominent scholar and saint of his time. The place where the shrine was located was known as "Khalfadam" until the middle of the last century. Today, this is the site of the Tazapir Mosque. Over time, the tomb of Abu Sayyid Abdullah was destroyed. However, people who believed in the miracle of the pyre did not allow it to be completely destroyed. The shrine has been repaired from time to time by Baku nobles. In 1817, the last Baku khan Huseyngulu khan's son-in-law Gasim bey restored the mosque. The actual construction of the temple began in the early twentieth century. Thus, about 90 years after the major restoration of the mosque, one of the richest believers, Nabat khanum Khojabey gizi Ashurbeyli-Rzayeva, began to build a new place of worship on the site of a one-storey mosque building. It is said that this woman, a descendant of Seyid Yahya Bakuvi, promised to build such a mosque, and in keeping with her promise, she sold it to the last piece of jewelry and built the building. Due to the construction of a new mosque on the tomb, this building is still called Tazapir Mosque.

    Taza Pir Mosque (also Tazapir, Teze Pir, Teze-Pir, Tezepir) is a mosque in Baku, Azerbaijan. Its construction began in 1905 and was finished by 1914. The idea for the mosque as well as its financing was provided by an Azeri philanthropist, a female, Nabat Khanum Ashurbeyov (Ashurbeyli) The history of the sanctuary dates back to the XIV and XV centuries. It existed first time as a tomb. The tomb belonged to Abu Seyid Abdulla who was a scholar and Islamic saint. The location of the sanctuary was known as “Xalfadam” until the middle of the last century. Over time, the tomb of Abu Seid Abdulla was exposed to destruction. However, the local population of Baku especially the Baku elites restored it several times. In 1817, son-in-law of Huseyngulu Khan, Qasim Bey financed restoration costs of the mosque. The actual construction of the temple began in the early 20th century. The construction of the mosque was started by construction foreman Karbalai Ahmed, and then completed under the direction of the architect Zivar bey Ahmadbay between 1905 and 1914 approximately 90 years later restoration of the tomb. The mosque was built on the tomb. The construction costs were met by Azerbaijani philanthropist Nabat Khanum Ashurbeyova. The construction of the Taza Pir Mosque took more than nine years due to financial and political issues of that time. Nabat khanim, who financed several charitable projects simultaneously in Baku, could not afford to complete the mosque. In addition, due to breakout of Balkan War in 1911, Tsarist Russia had strictly controlled the activities of banks in Baku, assuming that Muslim millionaires could help the Ottoman Empire so that the Baku millionaires had to get the approval of officials from the Tsarist Department for the amount to be spent on the construction of Taza Pir Mosque. Azerbaijani national industrial magnate and philanthropist Haji Zeynalabdin Taghiyev also actively attended in the construction process of the mosque. Only 3 years after opening the mosque was closed in connection with the October Revolution in 1917. Over the years the mosque functioned as a cinema and a barn, and since 1943 to present day - as a mosque. Akhund of the mosque is the Grand Mufti of the Caucasus Allahshukur Pashazadeh.

    This is a nicely built mosque using the Islamic architecture of Azerbaijan and Iran. It is mainly used by the Shia muslims and at Ashura time you can attend some recitations on the memorial of the killing of Imam Hussein A.S. The area around the mosque, which used to be an old neighborhood of very old houses is being reconstructed with modern buildings and parks. In particular, the central park which is perhaps the largest and most beautiful in Baku is now connected to the mosque with beautiful entrance that resembles Taj Mahal of India. I had the honour to attend Imam Hussein Ashura memorial on the night of 10 Muharram 1441. Highly recommended a visit to the mosque if you come to the central park.

    (Translated by Google) If you went to Baku, be sure to visit this mosque 🕌 ... Nearby is a beautiful park, we were at night in it с everything is highlighted ... Nuuuu is very beautiful. Then we arrived in the afternoon, also walked on it. The female part of the mosque is modest .. But I photographed the male part, which is beautiful in my opinion, the workers are hospitable and good towards tourists, there are practically no people. Calmly. (Original) Если Вы поехали в Баку, обязательно посетите эту мечеть 🕌... Рядом красивый парк, мы были ночью в нем 😍всё подсвечено... Нуууу очень красиво. Потом приехали днем, тоже погуляли по нему.
