History

Sultan Alaeddin mosque was built in 1918 and directed by a previous Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Alaeddin Suleiman Shah Ibni Raja Muda Musa in 1925.

Urban and Architectural

The space planning of the mosque is divided into two main sections, namely the min prayer hall with a roof and outdoor prayer area without a roof. The main prayer hall measures 13.53 x 14.04 meters (44 x 46 feet), which is seen as a square plan. Also, the mosque has a minaret with a similar design on form. From the top of the minaret, one can see into the distance and over the surrounding low-lying areas, The height of the minaret measures 19.5 meters (63.9 feet) and five meters (16.4 feet) in diameter. The concrete spiral staircase has a total of 4B steps that rises to the top of the balcony. The minaret and mihrab wall are located at the rear of the mosque facing the gibla,

The Masjid Sultan Aladdin has a semi-circle mihrab with a radius of 0.9 meters (2.95 feet) which is built curved into the wall at the mosque. There are no openings at the front of the mihrab and this has resulted in the space being in low light. The mihrab niche is built solely for the imam and does not require a large space. The mimbar of this mosque is one of the oldest mimbars in Selangor and it is rather special because the carvings were said to be done by Sulton Alauddin himself. There are six steps to climb before reaching the first platform level, On the top most level, a mimbar chair is placed for the Imam. The roof of the mimbar is also adorned with intricate carvings.
