The mosque was built in the beginning of the 1990s with assistance of the Turkish government.[2] The mosque currently is used as an official residence of religious attaché of the Turkish embassy.[2] The mosque has been under construction since 2009.[2]
The 154th ayah from Al-Baqara chapter of Quran is written on the façade of the mosque in Arabic and Turkish:
"Do not say "Dead!" about those, who died for the sake of Allah. No, they are alive! But you do not feel."
