The mosque's library houses valuable manuscripts of the Koran, the Hadith, Islamic law and other works of Islamic philosophy, history and literature published in Egypt, India, Turkey and Pakistan. Three services are held: one at dawn, one at 1 PM and the last at 4 PM daily. The site is also the Headquarters of the Beijing branch of China Islamism Association.
