The mosque was built in the 1880s in the village of Baniakandi in Kumarkhali Upazila.[1][2] The mosque bears testimony to the early Muslim historical heritage of Kushtia District.[3] Historian Khondkar Abdul Halim states that the mosque was possibly built during the reign of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.
