The Editor's
Notes

Assalamualaikum,
Alhamdulillah thanks to Allah for all the hidden
blessings that I was unable to thanks you for. It is
unimaginable for me to present the majesty and
wonderfulness of this royal mosque. In this booklet, I
provide some bit of information on the history of
conservation that has been carried out against Sultan
Suleiman Royal Mosque before being listed as a
National Heritage Building by the Department of
National Heritage on 2012. It has been shown the
architectural design of the building that is very
beautiful when seen through the eyes of a person
who is good at appreciating the unique and valuable
buildings that been found of the building.

Thank you for taking the time to read this booklet,
which also has this weakness.

OVERVIEW OF BUILDING

Sultan Suleiman Mosque is
Selangor's royal mosque
which is located at Klang,
Selangor Darul Ehsan. The
British constructed Sultan
Suleiman Royal Mosque in
early 1932 and officially
opened it in 1934 by the fifth
Sultan of Selangor Late
Almarhum Sultan Sir
Alaeddin Sulaiman Shah and
the British's Federal Malay
States High Commissioner, Sir
Lawrence Nuuns Guillemard.

For this mosque to be built,
the British Government
allocated $700 on that time.
An Art Deco for the mosque
structure stands as one of the
country's most unique
religious architecture.

BACKGROUND AND HISTORY

For over eight decades, the mosque has
stood without any changes to its interior
and the Ablution Pavilion, impacting its
initial construction intentions. Jabatan
Kerja Raya Negeri Selangor, Linea Architect
Sdn. Bhd. and Badan Warisan Heritage
Services had worked together in recording
the original architecture details and the
construction process involved in the
restoration of the Sultan Suleiman Royal
Mosque

This building was brought back (as near as
possible) to its original 1933 appearance,
including the uncovering of colourful bas-
reliefs adorning its upper walls and its
original sunken ablution pond.

Then, in 2012, Sulltan Suleiman Royal
Mosque was registered as a National
Heritage under the National Heritage Act
2005 (Act 645).

Architecture
Style

Leofic Kesteven as British architect Wak to design the mosque. He designed it
in such a way that Islamic Architecture and the combination of Western Art
Deco and Neoclassical cathedral style inspired the architecture of the mosque.
The building's original layout is like a church plan, whereby the design, as seen
from above, is like a cross bar.
The building is made of stone, as it was under British and Indian Muslim
influence. The central plan is the most noticeable feature of the plan. This plan
uses the two main east-west and north-south axes of the axes. In the centre
and higher entry from the main porch, there are eight small towers around the
mosque and a central tower.

There was a theory that is used Bristh architect for
the architectural aspect of the Sultan Suleiman Royal
Mosque, eventhough the mosque as a gift to the
fifth Sultan of Selangor, he designed it in a wat that
resembled a church so that if the British managed to
