Neither project is being financed by local Muslims.[ [http://www.cphpost.dk/get/101556.html Mosque designs vie for single site] , The Copenhagen Post, May 3, 2007] ]The Tabah Foundation, an Islamic consultancy firm based in United Arab Emirates, is planning to fund a mosque planned by Jan Wenzel and Lars Tuxen. This mosque is expected to cost 427 million euro.
A different plan was made by Njalsgade K/S, who own the land. Their mosque was designed by Bjarke Ingels.
The mosque is planned to be built in Ørestad, Copenhagen.
On June 2007, several Copenhagen imams participated in a Hizb ut-Tahrir convention. The imams explained that they would like to work with Hizb ut-Tahrir on common projects such as the Grand Mosque.
