History
The search for land where the mosque stands today started on 25 September 1985 when the local Muslim association's secretary apply to the Commissioner of Lands to construct a mosque. However, after 12 years of efforts brought no result between the association and the local authority, the association engaged a bank to deal with the matter.

The Muslim association named the planned mosque as Mosque of Jesus Christ Son of Mary to show goodwill to the local Christian community after the dispute. The construction of the mosque eventually finished and it was opened on 4 July 2021 in a ceremony officiated by executive member of the Muslim World League.
