Historians date the construction of the Mosque to the early 8th century CE, either to Abd al-Malik\u2019s reign, or to his son\u2019s, al-Walid I (705-715). The structure was rebuilt several times and renovated in 1035 CE during the Fatimid Caliphate, following the earthquake of 1033 CE. The stained-glass windows date to later periods. Several of the windows were created in the 16<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century, but most are either from the 19<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0or 20<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century.
