The mosque has an octagonal shape and has wings to the south, east, north, and west.

The entire development was completed on 10 September 1909 (25 Sha'ban 1329 AH) and marked by the implementation of the first Friday prayers at the mosque.

JA Tingdeman designed the mosque[citation needed] with an octagonal symmetrical layout style, combining elements from Morocco, Europe and the Middle East.

The eight square floor plan produced a unique inner chamber, unlike most conventional mosques.

The walls, ceilings, pillars, arches and surfaces are rich in ornamentation with decorative flowers and plants.

Both porch and arched windows of the building are designend reminiscent of Islamic kingdoms in Spain in the Middle Ages.
