The Tengku Ampuan Jemaah Mosque or Bukit Jelutong Mosque is a Selangor‘s royal mosque located in Bukit Jelutong Shah Alam, Malaysia. 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 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 worshipping 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 finished patterned. The mihrab niche is arranged and segmented with marble. The Malay design influence was incorporated through using the cengal timber carving from Kelantan.
