Masjid Diraja Sultan Alaeddin, Jugra (6 July, 2016)


Masjid Diraja Sultan Alaeddin (GPS: 2.86335, 101.4398) is a beautiful mosque in the old royal town of Jugra, in Kuala Langat District, Selangor. It is located on Jalan Istana. It was named after Sultan Alaeddin (1863-1938) who had it built. According to the Jemaah Agama Islam Selangor, the mosque was opened on 18 June, 1924, by His Royal Highness Sultan Alaeddin Sulaiman Shah ibni Almarhum Raja Muda Musa. Wikipedia however states (without citation) that the mosque was constructed between 1903 and 1905, and opened in 1906 by Sultan Alaeddin.

At the time of my visit (July 2016), Masjid Diraja Sultan Alaeddin was undergoing restoration. It will many more months before the mosque is reopened to the public. The prayer hall has a double-tier hip roof topped with a roof lantern. There is a three-tier minaret which ends with a cup-shaped dome. The design of the minaret is reminiscent to that of the Kapitan Keling Mosque in Penang.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
