The mosque is a rectangular shaped mosque with extensions on the north-eastern side. It has a symmetrical main elevation, with a dome. Since it was built, the mosque has expanded to the left and the right, and the dome has been changed (to a different design).
This Port Elizabeth landmark almost perished beneath the bulldozers’ wheels. The international community, particularly the Muslim countries, intervened and reminded the municipality of the time that you cannot demolish a church without the consent of the congregation. At the time, the municipality wanted to build an off ramp coming from the Settlers Freeway across this parcel of land and was just about to start demolition. The mosque was so preserved and is still in operation today.
