This mosque bears invaluable testimony to the presence of Muslim merchants from Persia and Arabia, who traveled across the vast oceans to Quanzhou during the Song and Yuan to engage in commerce.

It stands as a testament to the culture, religion and lifestyles of foreign peoples that were active in Quanzhou during that time. They also serve as evidence of the population demographics, commerce and trade, and cultural prosperity of Song-Yuan Quanzhou.
