Many of the construction workers were the Chinese inhabitant of Langkat Regency. Material for construction were shipped from [Penang](/source/Penang) and [Singapore](/source/Singapore) via the river Batang Serangan, and was transferred on site with 80 ox-carts.{{sfn|Zein|1999|p=32}} Abdul Aziz died before the completion of the mosque, so the construction was taken over by his son Tengku Sultan Mahmud Rahmat Syah.{{sfn|Zein|1999|p=32}} The mosque was completed on June 13, 1902. A minaret was added in 1926.{{sfn|I.G.N. Anom|Tjepi Kusman|1991|p=37}} The mosque was restored several times in 1978-1979, 1980–1981, and 1990-1991.{{sfn|I.G.N.
