The original idea to build the mosque first came from Mohamed Gorgui Seyni Guèye. He came up with the idea in 1973. However, the actual building was built by Cheikh Ngom, and wasn't completed until 1997.[1] No money was paid to anybody during construction.[2]
The minaret of the mosque stands at a height of 45 meters.[3]
