The Mosque of Divinity was constructed without any subsidy, neither from the State nor from foreign funds. No excavators, no concrete mixers, no cranes. The only machine present on site broke down after one week. What remained was faith, solidarity, and the hands of the faithful of Ouakam, Ngor, Yoff, and Guédiawaye.

Children, youth, women, men, and elders all contributed. Women worked on the construction site alongside the men and also ensured meals for the volunteers day after day. Young people built the 45-metre minarets by hand, connected at the summit by a single wooden bridge they named the Al Sirat Bridge — the bridge that in Islamic belief spans hell and leads to paradise on the Day of Judgement. One slip meant certain death. Five years and five months. Zero deaths. Zero serious injuries.
