The mosque was built in 1890 on a piece of land leased by the British Hong Kong government. The treaty for the land was granted on 23 December 1850. Initially, the mosque was named Mohammedan Mosque. Extension of the building took place in 1915 which made the mosque into a larger building. After World War II, the mosque was renamed Jamia Mosque. It is also known as Lascar Temple.
