The mosque was built in the 1940s, financed by money that the Finnish Tatar community collected together. Around the same time, local Tatars established a separate Islamic congregation in Tampere.
In the 1980s the Tatars were still organising language and religious instruction for the community's children at the mosque. Later, activity became concentrated around certain religious occasions, such as the month of Ramadan.
