The initiative to construct the mosque was proposed by the late Orang Kaya-Kaya Panglima Bukit Gantang Seri Amar Diraja Abdul Wahab, former Chief Minister of Perak. He identified the need for a larger mosque, as the existing ones in Ipoh could no longer accommodate the growing number of worshippers during Friday prayers and major Islamic festivals. Construction began on 16 May 1966, with the foundation stone laid by the late Tun Haji Abdul Razak, then Deputy Prime Minister, on 27 October 1967.
