The construction of the mosque started in 1947 after the British government granted a piece of land to the Trinidad Muslim League (TML).

The construction was completed in 1954 with funds from Moulvi Ameer Ali, the founder of TML, and the group supporters.

It was named in memory of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, a homeland for Muslims of the Indian subcontinent.

Metal staircases were installed inside the two towers that go up to the top of the structure.
