According to local lore, the original mosque was founded in 1380 in the indigenous sacred Moro pagoda style. Arabic-language sources describe its builder as an Arab merchant named Sheikh Karimul Makhdum. The 1380 date therefore rests on tradition rather than a documented construction record.

Four old pillars that survive inside the mosque are dated to the 17th century. The building standing today was constructed in the 1960s.
