During World War II the Japanese military fired on the building several times, believing it hid British soldiers.

The mosque was founded in 1890 by a Muslim merchant from British India and marks an important point in the city's history. During World War II, the site served as a refuge for people in the local area.

The mosque serves as a gathering place where the community comes together for daily prayers and celebrates Islamic festivals throughout the year. You will see people of all ages meeting at these times and participating in the important occasions that mark the Islamic calendar.

The mosque sits on the Sandakan Heritage Trail, so it can be combined with a walking tour of the town centre. It is an active place of worship: dress modestly and time your visit outside the five daily prayers. The original site was opposite Wisma Sandakan, near the third Habib restaurant.

The mosque's full name honours Sheikh Hasabollah At-Tohiri, and its original site stood opposite Wisma Sandakan, at the third Habib restaurant. During World War II Japanese troops fired on the building several times, believing it also sheltered British soldiers.
