Is this location on the same grounds as other religious buildings?

If so, you can use landuse=religious on the entire area, and put the point of 
worship on the Mosque, and the support buildings would just be part of the 
landuse. 

This building sounds like any other religious hall that is related to, but not 
the central place of worship at large religious facility. Religious meetings 
may take place, or other events held in the hall at other times (like funeral 
receptions you mentioned), but the actual worshipping takes place elsewhere 
(chapel + meeting hall is a common layout for large churches, and large 
buddhist temples often have other meeting venues than just the temple building 
itself). 

I forget how exactly to tag a meeting hall like this, but you should be able to 
stick it on landuse=religious and add the religion and denomination, but leave 
off the POW tag, if it isn't used for worship. 

It might be amenity=community_hall or Community_centre, but i could be wrong.
