Built between the years 1674–1681, it is named after an Abyssinian commander in Abul Hasan Tana Shah’s troops. The mosque, located in Mustaidpura across from Purana Pul, is a double verandah (27 feet by 28 feet, four inches) and a mihrab (niche), eight feet deep. The façade has three arches, each seven feet wide. Two minarets are located on either side of the verandah. A large cistern 28 feet wide is in the middle of the front platform. Six inscriptions adorn the mosque, including the one recording Miyan Mishk’s year of death, 1680.
It is one of the last Qutb Shahi mosques erected in the reign of Abul Hasan Qutb Shah and has six inscriptions that give insights into the administration and revenue system in the Qutb Shahi period. The masjid precinct also originally featured a hamam (communal bath) and a Sarai (rest house), which are now in poor condition.
