The Mosque is administered by members of the Muslim community and separate from the government of Malta.
The main Imam of the Mosque is Mohammed Elsadi, known as "Ix-Xih" (literally meaning "the elder").
Elsadi was born to Palestinian refugees whom came to Malta because of the Arab-Israeli war.
As a consequence El Sadi has obtained Maltese citizenship.
Elsadi is described as a fundamentalist by Fr René Camilleri for supporting the strict compliance to sharia, but anthropologist Ranier Fsadni believes this is not a common belief among Muslims and that the Imam is "intellectually honest".
Indeed, the consumption of alcohol, by Muslims in Malta, is a common practice that goes against the fundamental teachings of Islam.

The Islamic religious culture affairs is under the responsibility of Omar Ahmed Farhat.
Muslims have the right to govern their religious environment issues in line with Maltese law and the government of Malta is sensitive about it.
When the Mosque was inaugurated it was considered very large but today the mosque's religious service on its own has become too small to cater for the unforeseen growth of the Muslim community, mainly being foreigners.

Bader Zeina, a Palestinian migrant, is a separate Muslim organizer and leader of the Islamic Community Malta (ICM).
