The mosque was built in nineteenth century by a group of Chinese people, called Chin Ho or Hui, mostly from Yunnan Province.

[1] The present-day buildings were built later, in Arabic, rather than Chinese-style, except in front of the prayer hall, where there is the Chinese phrase, "清真寺" or qingzhensi, which means a mosque (literally 'temple of purity and truth').

[2] Every Saturday and Sunday, there is a class for young Muslims, from 08:00 to the noon prayer (dhuhr).

Every year the mosque enrolls, gratis, 20 students who cannot afford government school.
