The mosque was built in 1990 by the Muslim Association of Newfoundland and Labrador. Having been the province's only mosque for a long time, it has appeared in the news at moments when events involving Islam and mosques drew public attention. A master's thesis completed in 2016 studied the mosque and the role of the five daily prayers in the lives of Muslims who have immigrated to Newfoundland.

After the March 2019 shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand, the mosque held memorial services. An event at the St. John's Farmers Market expressed support for Newfoundland's Muslims, and messages of support were also brought to the mosque itself. In 2025 the congregation acquired a larger building at 135 Torbay Road, intended to become a second mosque named Masjid Suleman Dawood.
