[2][3] Initially regular prayers were not held there because the mosque was located in a very isolated area and no Muslims lived there except for a caretaker.

However, as more and more Muslim families settled in Chai Wan, they started to perform their daily prayers at the mosque.

The Incorporated Trustees of the Islamic Community Fund of Hong Kong had also renovated the entire building in 2005 and air conditioners had been installed in the main prayer hall.

On 17 May 2010, the Advisory Board of Antiquities and Monuments Office designated the mosque as a Grade III historic building.

The mosque is accessible within walking distance South West from Chai Wan station of the MTR.
