===Religion=== [[File:SA Blue Mosque.jpg|thumb|240px|[[Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Mosque]]]] Shah Alam is most famous for its mosque, the [[Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Mosque]]. It is also known as the Blue Mosque and has been claimed to be the largest mosque in Malaysia, and one of the largest in Southeast Asia. The mosque has the capacity to accommodate 24,000 worshippers at one time. Its distinguishing feature is its large blue and silver [[dome]], which measures 51.2 m (167 ft) in diameter and reaches 106.7 m (350 ft) above ground level. The mosque has four [[minaret]]s erected at the corners, each minaret is 142.3 m (460 ft) tall. The mosque was commissioned by the late Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz when he declared Shah Alam as the new capital of Selangor on 14 February 1974. Construction of the mosque was completed on 11 March 1988. As the capital of Selangor, Islam is the religion preferred by a majority of Shah Alam residents.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.tourismmalaysia.gov.my/en/destinations/item.asp?item=bluemosque | archive-url = https://archive.today/20120805224329/http://www.tourismmalaysia.gov.my/en/destinations/item.asp?item=bluemosque | url-status = dead | archive-date = 5 August 2012 | title = Tourism Malaysia-Selangor destinations-Blue Mosque | publisher = Government website-Tourism Malaysia | year = 2011 | access-date = 26 January 2011 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url =http://www.virtualmalaysia.com/destination/blue%20mosque%20(sultan%20salahuddin%20abdul%20aziz%20shah%20mosque).html | title =Blue Mosque (Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Mosque) | publisher =Malaysian Ministry of Tourism-VirtualMalaysia.com | year =2011 | access-date =26 January 2011 | url-status =dead | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20110605044808/http://www.virtualmalaysia.com/destination/blue%20mosque%20%28sultan%20salahuddin%20abdul%20aziz%20shah%20mosque%29.html | archive-date =5 June 2011 | df =dmy-all }}</ref> Buddhist Missionary Society Malaysia (BMSM)'s Samadhi Vihara is distinct with its iconic lotus-top Shrine Hall.
