Muslims offer prayers on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan at Khairtabad Mosque and at Makkah Masjid on Friday, July 23. Khairtabad mosque was built by Khairunisa Begum in 1626 AD, also known as Ma Saheba, daughter of VI Sultan Muhammad qutb Shah.

She built the mosque for her tutor Akhund Mulla Abul Malik. Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, the fifth ruler of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, commissioned bricks to be made from the soil brought from Mecca, the holiest site of Islam, and used them in the construction of the central arch of the mosque, thus giving the mosque its name. It formed the centerpiece around which the city was planned by Muhammad Quli Qutub Shah.
