Masjid Diraja Tengku Ampuan Jemaah — Attraction in Shah Alam

This tranquil second royal mosque is one of the biggest in Selangor.

The Tengku Ampuan Jemaah Mosque or Bukit Jelutong Mosque is Selangor's royal mosque located in Bukit Jelutong (Section U8) near Shah Alam. It is the second state mosque of Selangor after the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Mosque (Section 14). This royal mosque was named after the consort of the late Almarhum Sultan Sir Hisamuddin Alam Shah, late Almarhumah Tengku Ampuan Jemaah of Selangor. She was also the second Raja Permaisuri Agong (Queen) of Malaysia.

The mosque is the culmination of a 20-year struggle of Bukit Jelutong residents to have a mosque they could call their own. Funding has always been insufficient until the Sultan of Selangor graciously agreed to top up the balance and adopt the mosque as a royal mosque.

Granted by Royal decree, its RM25.5 million construction cost was partially funded by the Waqf fund of the former Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah. The rest was funded by the developer, Sime Darby Property, the state government of Selangor and the residents of Bukit Jelutong.

The sultan would visit this mosque every now and then.

The mosque was built by Sime Darby Properties which is also a developer of Bukit Jelutong township. Construction of the mosque began in 2010 and was completed in 2012. The mosque was officially opened by Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah of Selangor on 13 March 2013.

The mosque structure consists of four minarets and a big dome.

The mosque not only serves as a place of worship, but also acts as a core communal center, for both religious and social purposes. It has now become an active community center serving the community and their religious needs.

The idea to build the mosque was first mooted in 2002 when the developer organized a closed mosque design competition, involving selected architectural practices. In 2009, the mosque’s construction was initiated again by the developer, along with the Royal order from the Sultan of Selangor.

The initial idea of the designer was to build the mosque with a modernist approach. It was later revised by the principal of Kumpulan Senireka, Dato’ Seri Nik Mohamed Mahmood, who felt a mosque should be in a familiar form and shape that would remind people about the religion of Islam. The architect established a strong connection with the architecture of the Al-Masjid Al-Haram in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, where most Muslims have a peaceful and tranquil feeling while worshiping there. This is achieved through the application of the principles of good planning layout and human proportions. The interior is created in a grandeur form, with four main piers that stand across the rectangular hall. A large round chandelier hangs from the main dome, with the female prayer gallery overlooking the main prayer hall from the upper floor. The floor area is covered with a warm-hued red carpet, with the qibla wall finished with Malay songket plaster patterned. The mihrab niche is arranged and segmented with marble. The Malay design influence was incorporated through using the chengal timber carving from Kelantan.

Beautiful masjid. The Adhan from it is soothing. Surrounding it is a lake. The lake water has flowers which look beautiful.

A very beautiful and serene mosque. Tranquil feeling and peace while inside the masjid. It's designed so nicely that it's versatile for many occasions. I went for a wedding reception and it has all the amenities needed. Being unattached with the prayer hall makes the reception place easily manageable. Non Muslims can also come to the occasions without any worries about mistakenly entering the place of worship. Parking is ample. Overall its a one stop community center at best.

Very conveniently located, near Bukit Jelutong toll plaza. Ample parking space. Fully air conditioned praying hall, clean surrounding. Regularly held Islamic knowledge classes (daily), open to the public after Maghrib prayer.

Such a spacious beautiful mosque with intricate...

One of the new mosque for the Bukit Jelutong rich Malay community, but in Islam any Muslim are allowed to pray and attend all events and services regardless of status quo. The mosque is managed by the Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor (JAIS) - one of State Government Islamic Department under Majlis Agama Islam Selangor (MAIS) head by His Majesty YM The Sultan of Selangor himself. The mosque has a large praying hall which divides male and female section. Fully airconditioned, carpeted and fitted with centralised air-conditioning sistem. The mosque are well maintained by awarded contractor and most areas area clean including the toilets. Landscaping is nice only that parking as usual, only enough to cater normal daily activity. On Friday like most of the mosques in Malaysia, roadsides are usually double-parked for 2 hours max. In Malaysia, this is a norm since most of the new mosques are designed and located away from town area possible to avoide congestion during stipulated hours of that particular day. Most Malaysian accepted this with an open heart and mind and has been going for years. We are yet to see mosque providing areas more than play ground and special section for kids. Hope our religious department are open to this idea before building...
