For 24 years, the mosque faced closure under the Sikh Empire of maharaja Ranjit Singh beginning in 1819, when the-then governor of Kashmir, Moti Ram, put curbs on offering prayers in Jamia Masjid. No prayers were offered and no call for prayers was given from the mosque. It was reopened by the governor Shaikh Muhy-ud-Din
