Reason for the name

Named by this name because it built the place of the tomb of the governor of Makki.

The building started after the approval of the Jerusalem Municipality to form the committee, a mosque opened in the same year with an area of ​​24 square meters, the following year, and the electricity opened and a small library opened.

This mosque faces the danger of the settlers who took over a nearby house in 1986 for provocation and attempts to prevent the Adan from heard.
