Masjid Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz is a religious site in Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia.
Masjid Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah stands in Seksyen 14, at the heart of Shah Alam, Selangor. Locally known as Masjid Negeri (State Mosque) and more widely as the Blue Mosque, or Masjid Biru, for its dominant blue and silver dome, it is Malaysia's largest mosque and the second largest in Southeast Asia after Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta. The dome alone spans 51.2 meters in diameter and rises 106.7 meters, visible from Kuala Lumpur on a clear day.
Commissioned by Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah when Shah Alam was declared Selangor's new capital in 1974, the mosque took shape over the following decade and was officially opened on 11 March 1988. Spanning 14.6 hectares along the edge of Tasik Raja Lumu, it holds up to 24,000 worshippers across its prayer halls, with four minarets marking each corner. The design blends traditional Malay and Islamic architectural elements with modernist touches, and the interior features Islamic calligraphy, lecture halls, seminar rooms, a library, and a dedicated wedding hall.
Non-Muslim visitors are welcome outside prayer times, with modest dress required; robes are provided at the entrance for those who need them. The mosque also functions as a hub for religious education and community programs, giving visitors a closer look at Selangor's Islamic institutions beyond the architecture itself.
Its location keeps it well connected to the rest of the city. Dataran Kemerdekaan, Shah Alam's independence square, is roughly 836 meters away, about a 10-minute walk, and the Sultan Alam Shah Museum sits within 500 meters. With ample parking and easy access from the Federal Highway, the mosque remains one of the most visited landmarks in Shah Alam, drawing both worshippers and travelers exploring the state's Islamic heritage.
