Diraja Sultan Suleiman Mosque in Klang - Malaysia Sultan Sulaiman Mosque is Selangor's royal mosque, which is located in Klang, Selangor, Malaysia. It was constructed by the British in the early 1932 and was officially opened in 1934 by the late Almarhum Sultan Sir Alaeddin Sulaiman Shah and the British's Federated Malay States High Commissioner, Sir Lawrence Nuuns Guillemard. The mosque's architecture is a combination of Western Art Deco and Neoclassical cathedral styles. It was designed by the British architect Leofric Kesteven (1882-1974). Its interesting features include the Tangga Diraja (royal stairs) from Istana Alam Shah and a royal mausoleum. The late Sultan Salahuddin was buried in the mosque's grounds. The concept design of the Sultan Sulaiman Mosque in Klang is quite different from any of the existing mosque in the state as well as in Malaysia. From the results of reading history books Malaysia, some say Sultan Sulaiman Mosque influence of Islamic architecture blends Moorish, Neoclassical and English architecture. Others say that the mosque's Art Deco concept for minimal decorative elements used here. Use simple geometry in plan mosque also lead to Western Art Deco. There are still elements of classical, especially on the pole, but it is quite minimal. Semicircular shaped dome of the mosque (partially hemisphere) egg yellow (not golden). Large dome of the main prayer space surrounded by several smaller domes. There are eight small towers around the mosque and a large tower in the middle and higher entrance from the main porch. The tower is also decorated with yellow dome at the summit. Architect who designed the mosque is Leofric Kesteven. The mosque can accommodate about 1,000 pilgrims at a time. The present mosque has been through a number of processes and internal modifications in the 'courtyard' building. Original design is like a cross bar when viewed from above, as is so often used in church plans in Europe. But now form the Sultan Suleiman Mosque already looks like a square customization of the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS). The main prayer room Sultan Sulaiman Mosque octagon shaped (octagonal) at the bottom and start to turn into a circular shape at the level of 10 meters. Side of the main dome can be picked up because it has two levels as balconies. Second level can be accessed with 'catladder'. There was a layer of decorative iron frame under the dome used to support the 'glass color' compiled pattern.

History: Sultan Sir Sulaiman was the 5th Sultan of Selangor, a ruler and ulama. The name does not refer to Sultan Suleiman in Turkey despite the concept looks "Turkish". The grave (maqam) of Sultan is in the compound. Architecure: This Moorish Western Islamic was the influence of British. It has been restructured from church concepts such as cross to Islamic. Yet the initial concept is preserved. The cost of this project is RM 12 millions. Visiting: You may enter, take videos, but Mimbar (the place where there is a seat on the higher place, the right side from entrance is a no-no to climb. Same as the glass Mihrab - the most front with curve space wall is a no-no. Don't even go there. There is a lot of free parking. Entrance is free. Environment: Very peaceful. Spacious. Can fit up to 1000 people at a time. Transportation: You may access by KTM Klang, then walk 15 minutes or by smart selangor free bus.

Built in 1932, this is a mosque with unique and beautiful architecture and design, both external and internal It is not a big mosque so catering for large congregation will be a bit of a problem The mosque is not airconditioned, doesn't have ceiling fans and rely heavily on standing fans which is not sufficient enough to cool off many parts of the mosque due to its design. Nevertheless, performing solat in there is cool enough so as not to make us drenched in sweat The muslimah section is quite small and is not very good in giving privacy though Toilets are located in a separate building which require a little walking though pipes for ablution is just beside the main solat hall There is also no racks for shoes at the mosque I would say that the mosque is still a good place for one to perform a quick stop by for solat while admiring its beauty

Nice place to visit. It was constructed by the British in the early 1932 and was officially opened in 1933 by the late Almarhum Sultan Sir Alaeddin Sulaiman Shah. This mosque combines various types of architectural styles (such as Moorish and Art Deco) and interior and exterior designs not replicated in other mosques around the country. Sultan Sulaiman Mosque was the main state mosque of Selangor until the opening of Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Mosque in the new capital city of Shah Alam. Some of its interesting features include the Tangga Diraja (royal stairs) from Istana Alam Shah and a royal mausoleum. The late Sultan Salahuddin was buried in the mosque's grounds.

Beautiful mosque with unique architecture. It was built in 1932 and officiated in 1934 by his majesty Sultan Alaeddin Suleiman Shah. Very peaceful mosque and where you enter inside the main praying hall you could see beautiful candiliers at the entrance of the main hall. Beside the mosque there is a royal burial ground where several Selangor rulers, consorts and relatives were entombed here.
