Mosques started to be constructed in Stone Town in the second half of the nineteenth century by Muslim groups from the Indian subcontinent. The Aga Khan Mosque, also known as the Ismaili Jamatkhana, was constructed in Forodhani as early as 1838/1254 AH and is the oldest Shi'a mosque in Zanzibar. In 1905, it underwent a significant rebuilding and expansion.
