Following the Soviet occupation of Azerbaijan, official anti-religious campaigns began in 1928. In December of that year, the Central Committee of the [[Azerbaijan Communist Party (1920)|Communist Party of Azerbaijan]] transferred many mosques, churches, and synagogues to the balance of educational clubs for secular purposes. If there were approximately 3,000 mosques in [[Azerbaijan]] in 1917, by 1927, the number decreased to 1,700, and by 1933, it was reduced to 17.<ref>{{cite book|author=[[Arif Yunusov]]|url=https://www.ipd-az.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Islam-az-rus.pdf|title=Ислам в Азербайджане|publisher=Zaman|year=2004|isbn=9952-8052-0-9|location=[[Bakı]]|page=78|access-date=2022-12-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230705193204/https://www.ipd-az.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Islam-az-rus.pdf|archive-date=2023-07-05|url-status=live}}</ref> Chalabilar Mosque also ceased its activities after the Soviet occupation.
