Some of the evidences prove that labour of about 8,000 people have worked in the construction of Masjid. After the demise of Quli Kuthub Shah, Abdul Kuthub Shah and Abul Hasan Thanisha and have under taken the responsibility of completing the construction of the Masjid. In the year 1687, in the dynasty of Aurangazeb, the construction was completed.
