Most of the history of Aasahara Mosque is relatively unknown.
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Aasahara Mosque was one of two mosques holding funeral prayers in Malé.[1]
The Malé City Council renovated the mosque in 2024 using the 'Chaalu Miskiy' fundraiser, where they collected Rf. 700,000.[2][3][4] A fully air conditioned two-storey structure was built, more spacious room for the Funeral House with purpose-built areas, designated motorcycle parking, separate toilets for people with special needs and children gender-segregated facilities.[5][3][6] President Mohamed Muizzu inaugurated the renovated mosque.[6]
