In the year (610 AH), Aziza al-Din Akha Khatun, the wife of the mighty King Isa bin al-Malik al-Adel, Abu Bakr Ayyub in the year 1213 CE, the daughter of al-Malik Qutb al-Din, the owner of Mardin, established the Mardin school, and from the name of this city it was called al-Mardiniyya, which is one of the most beautiful Ayyubid buildings.
The historical researcher "Basheer Zuhdi" says that we will not bring anything new if we say that Syria in general and Damascus in particular had witnessed a distinct urban renaissance in the Ayyubid era .. And the researcher Zuhdi continues: “The naming of this structure has differed, as it is according to Ibn Tulun in his book The Essential Collections The Mosque of Al-Mardiniya is held. There is teaching in it, and for others it is the Marinid school, and today the school does not exist, since it has turned into the White Bridge Mosque.
