The original mosque was built in 1776 under Tipu Sultan as part of a fort. After its destruction during the British rule, Haji Mohammed Pillai Rawther arranged for a new mosque to be built between 1901 and 1910.^[1][3] He was buried next to the mosque, and a nearby street was named after him. His son-in-law Haji Meera Pillai Rowther succeeded him in maintaining the mosque.

A number of casualties from the 1921 Malabar Rebellion against the British were buried here.
