This mosque follows the tradition of the "medina Concept" following the design of the Great Mosque of Medina. The style of the mosque follows Egyptian Mammeluk architecture which features contrasting bluish and grey stone which creates a striped pattern. It consists of three central elements, each of which are domed.
Second Dutch Reformed Church in South Rotterdam (after the Wilhelmina Church). Architecturally and urbanistically very important, beautiful interbellum church with a defining tower, still in full use as a church. The Maranatha Church congregation still calls itself the "Reformed Church" and is of the Reformed Bond signature. Since the demolition wave of the 1970s, the tower of the Maranatha Church has been the highest church tower in South Rotterdam.
The church is built in the same style as the residential strips: constructed of brick, completely plastered white on a low, anthracite-coloured plinth, on a rectangular base, flat-roofed and provided with lower, cube-shaped extensions.
