Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Mosque, State mosque in Shah Alam, Malaysia.
The Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Mosque is a large house of worship in Shah Alam, Malaysia, known for its blue dome and four tall minarets. The main prayer hall holds thousands of worshippers and opens onto a spacious courtyard with marble floors and fountains.
Construction began in 1982 after Shah Alam became the new capital of Selangor, and the building officially opened in 1988. It served as a replacement for an earlier mosque in Klang and became the religious center of the state.
The name honors Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, the eighth Sultan of Selangor, who guided the state through decades of modernization. Visitors often notice the quiet courtyard, where worshippers gather before prayer times and rest under the shaded arcades.
Visitors should wear modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees, and women receive a robe at the entrance. The expansive grounds require some walking, so comfortable shoes are recommended, as you remove footwear before entering prayer areas.
The dome ranks among the largest of its kind worldwide and uses blue and silver aluminum panels that shift color depending on sunlight. Egyptian craftsmen were specially commissioned to create the ornate Quranic verses on the interior walls using traditional calligraphy.
