Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Mosque

The Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Mosque, commonly known as the Blue Mosque, is the principal mosque of Shah Alam in Selangor, Malaysia. It is one of the largest mosques in Southeast Asia and is notable for its large blue dome and four towering minarets.

The mosque’s interior contains a large central prayer hall designed to hold thousands of worshippers, and the complex includes ablution facilities, courtyards and supporting structures for religious events. The four minarets are a dominant visual feature and make the mosque visible from across the city.

Construction was completed in the late 20th century as part of Shah Alam’s development as the state capital; the building combines modern construction techniques with Islamic architectural forms to serve both religious and civic functions.

Located in Shah Alam, the mosque sits within the planned administrative city west of Kuala Lumpur and is accessible from major roads linking the Klang Valley region.

• Completion and name: Completed in 1988 and named for Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah of Selangor, the mosque serves as Shah Alam's principal landmark and a major regional place of worship.
