The original mosque was part of the Tittacheri Muslim Cemetery, an Indian Muslim section of the wider
Jalan Kubor Cemetery located at the junction of
Victoria Street and Jalan Sultan that dated back to 1819. The cemetery along with its mosque fell into disrepair and were abandoned by 1929, allowing the newly-formed Malabar Muslim Jama'at to occupy and take ownership of the mosque as well as relocate their main offices from Changi Road and Bussorah Street to this new location. A fundraising campaign was launched by the Malabar Muslim Jama'at to finance the reconstruction of the mosque, which attracted donations from both Muslims and non-Muslims in the area. Im 2012, the mosque committee discussed buying the land around the mosque, including the land that the cemetery was situated on, to expand the mosque. As part of the Mosque Upgrading Program, an initiative launched by the
Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS), plans were revealed in 2020 of a proposed extension of the mosque, with a new three-storey annex building that houses a madrasah, female prayer space, heritage gallery, as well as an auditorium hall. The proposed extension drew worries from locals, who were concerned that graves in the adjacent cemetery may be affected by construction. In response to these worries, the chairman of the mosque confirmed that the mosque's committee and relevant authorities would do their best to ensure that as many graves as possible were unharmed by the construction. Once plans had been finalized, construction on the extension started in 2020 and was completed by 2023. == Architecture ==
