On the façade a plaque refers to the building simply as 'Moskea' that is a word in use in Maltese when referring to a Mosque.
The shell structure of the Al-Batool Mosque is made of limestone while the arabic architecture is made of both limestone and wood.
The mosque has one dome painted in green (Gaddafi is well associated with this color) and one minaret that is a landmark in its own right by being visible from wide parts of the surroundings, and for this reason it is often used to explain directions.

The minaret has been recently restored, of which during restoration the flag of Libya was put to waive on it as a symbol of the downfall of Muammar Gaddafi, during the Libyan civil war.
After the restoration the green color surface of the minaret was changed from dark green to light green could be observed, with the pink color being completely removed; while the mosque has had no recent restoration keeping the traditional colors since the inauguration by Gaddafi.

The mosque and the minaret are distinguished from the rest of Maltese architecture by adopting arabic masonry such as the building of the dome, the windows, an octagonal minaret, and the aesthetic use of eye-catching light colors from the exterior.
