However, in a script recently placed on the left wall of the main building, the refurbishment and reconstruction of the building is mentioned to have been happened in the second half of the 3rd century AH by Mohammad bin Dai Alawi. The possibility of the primary monument being constructed under the rule of Al Boyah is not irrelevant, with regard to the works observed in the inscriptions on the holy shrine.
