About Shah Alam
Shah Alam is the state capital of Selangor, Malaysia, set within the Petaling District and home to a population of around 584,000. It replaced Kuala Lumpur as the Selangor capital in 1978 and holds the distinction of being the first planned city built in Malaysia after independence. This page lists today's five daily prayer times, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha, for the city's Muslim community.
Shah Alam is the capital of the Malaysian state of Selangor, located mainly within the Petaling District with a small portion extending into the neighbouring Klang District. It became the state capital in 1978, taking over from Kuala Lumpur after Kuala Lumpur was carved out as a Federal Territory in 1974. With a population of roughly 584,000, it is one of the principal urban centres of the densely populated Klang Valley region.
The city is notable as the first planned city established in Malaysia following the country's independence from Britain in 1957. As a purpose-built administrative and residential centre, its layout reflects mid-20th-century town planning rather than older organic growth, and it serves today as the seat of Selangor's state government.
Prayer Times in Shah Alam
Shah Alam observes Malaysia Time (UTC+8) all year with no daylight saving, so prayer times shift only gradually with the seasons. Lying just over 3° north of the equator, the city sees very little variation in day length across the year, meaning Fajr, Maghrib, and the other prayers fall at broadly similar clock times from month to month, with only minor drift. Times on this page follow the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) method, the official standard used throughout the country.
Major Mosques in Shah Alam
Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Mosque
Widely known as the Blue Mosque for its striking blue-and-silver dome, this is the state mosque of Selangor and the defining landmark of Shah Alam. One of the largest mosques in Southeast Asia, it is a major centre of worship and a well-recognised symbol of the city.
Ramadan in Shah Alam
During Ramadan, Muslims in Shah Alam observe the daily fast from dawn (Fajr) until sunset (Maghrib). Because the city sits close to the equator, the fasting day stays at a fairly consistent length throughout the year, typically around 13 hours, without the dramatic swings experienced at higher latitudes, so the timing of suhur and iftar changes little regardless of which season Ramadan falls in.
The exact suhur (pre-dawn) and iftar (sunset) times for each day of Ramadan can be read directly from the daily Fajr and Maghrib entries on this page, which follow the JAKIM calculation method used across Malaysia. As with the rest of the country, mosques across the city hold additional Tarawih prayers in the evenings during the month.
