The mosque half of this building is a ruin: its dome has collapsed. What stands is a square-planned mescit joined to a tomb, in the Kurtuluş quarter of Dulkadiroğlu, Kahramanmaraş.
It was built in 1547 in the name of İklime Hatun, daughter of Alaüd-Devle Bey, of cut and rubble stone. The tomb lies to the right of the entrance porch and the mosque door in the arch to its left; the tomb is entered through a door to the left of the mihrab wall. There are two graves inside.
City minibuses, public buses and taxis reach the quarter from anywhere in the city.
