Ahmed I showed no interest in completing the Mosque, neither did his immediate successors. Stood unfinished and then destroyed by fire in 1660. New Valide Sultan (Sultan's Mother) who decided to rebuild it as an act of piety. Architect Mustafa Aga was put in charge and the building was completed according to original design in 1663.
