The mosque was closed by the Shah in 1975 because of Mohammad Mofatteh's political teachings.

Responding to Mir Hossein Mousavi's appeal, Iranian government legally approved a Sunday June 28 2009, (or Tir 7th 1388 Anno Persico) peaceful prayer gathering mourning those killed during the 2009 post-election clashes at the Qoba Mosque (or Ghoba Mosque) in Tehran. Diplomats from other countries may attend.
