According to Moulana Aftab Haider, the Ahlul Bait (AS) Islamic Center acquired the site from an Ottery church in 1994.

He tells out that before the newly constructed mosque was finished and formally opened on December 1, the old church structure had been utilized for prayers and gatherings; rather, it was an Islamic center rather than a mosque. The mosque was accessible to everyone in the neighborhood, not just Muslims or Shi'a Muslims.
