The masjid is one of the oldest masjids in Turkey still standing. It was built during the reign of Mesud II of the Anatolian Seljuks in 1290. Its architect was Ebubekir Mehmet. It was commissioned by two Ahi leaders named Hüsamettin and Hasaneddin. However, in 1330, it was repaired by another Ahi leader named Şerafettin after whom the masjid was named. After several minor repairs the masjid was restored by the Directorate General of Foundations in 2010-2013 term.
