History

In 2012, during heightened riots in Rakhine State, the mosque was closed along with several other religious sites. [1] [2] [3] It was briefly reopened in April 2024 by the State Administration Council junta, but was closed down by the Arakan Army after it captured Maungdaw on 8 December 2024. The mosque was officially reopened on September 12, 2025. [4]

It served as a central place of worship for the Muslim community of Maungdaw before its closure. [5]

Current condition

The mosque is active and serves the local Muslim population. [6]
