The mosque, built on an area of 208 meter squares, also has a fountain in its courtyard, toilets and bathrooms in addition to the spacious garden built for the locals to wander around in.

After the noon prayer, the attendants prayed altogether for those who contributed in the project of building the mosque.  

People of Muangani Village, as it is a newly formed settlement, were seriously in need of a place for worship. Thanks to the mosque project, the locals have now access to a venue for their common prayers. The mosque will also serve as a center for cultural and religious activities. Following each prayer, religious knowledge meetings will be held. The Muslims of the village will be provided with information on basic religious matters.
