It was the first mosque built in the city since 1492, when the conquest of Granada by Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon concluded the reconquest of Spain by the Catholic Monarchs.

[1] Fundraising, particularly from abroad, and with local support, took many years and construction did not begin until the late 1990s, with financial support from Sultan bin Muhammad Al-Qasimi, the Emir of Sharjah and King Hassan II of Morocco.

The building complex consists of a prayer hall, a garden and an Islamic studies centre with a library, conference hall, exhibition area, bookshop and reception area.
