Firefighters were called to the scene about 3:30 this Monday morning.
When crews arrived, flames were showing on the west side of the building, but it quickly spread.
The mosque was destroyed in the fire.
The Jasper County Sheriff's Office confirmed the Fire Marshall has already been called in to investigate.
Another fire, which was deemed arson, was reported at the same building July 4th.
