It was inaugurated in the summer of 2014 by Daniel Cîniparu, a Transylvanian[1][2] from Turda who moved to Rediu as the lands there were cheaper.

He built there one house for his family and one building for practicing Islam, the Maryam Mosque.

[2] The Maryam Mosque was built through funds donated by foreigners, Muslims from birth and converted Romanians.

[1] Cîniparu has said that he has received insults for his decision and that he admires Dobruja for the peaceful coexistence of religions there.

[2] As of 2017, between 18 and 20 people had converted in the mosque, mostly Romanians but also some foreigners, who were originally Orthodox or Greek Catholic.
