About This Directory

Understanding the purpose, scope, and future of the Masjid & Surau KL Directory.

Our Purpose

The Masjid & Surau KL Directory is a civic-minded, open reference for Muslim prayer spaces in Kuala Lumpur. Whether you are a visitor looking for the nearest Friday prayer hall, a resident wanting to know which masjid has a women's prayer room, or a researcher studying the urban distribution of religious infrastructure — this directory is built for you.

Our goal is a single, accurate, and accessible source of truth for masjid and surau in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, presented in a format that works for both casual users and data-driven applications.

Data Quality & Verification

Each location in this directory carries a verification status:

Verified Information has been reviewed against official or primary sources, or confirmed by a community contributor.
Pending Record exists and appears accurate, but formal verification is in progress.
Unverified Location data has been submitted or imported but has not yet been independently reviewed.

We encourage users to report corrections using the Contact page. Accurate data benefits the whole community.

Accessibility

This site is built with accessibility as a first-class concern. We follow WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines and design for keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and reduced-motion preferences. If you encounter any accessibility barriers, please contact us.

Future Expansion

This directory is currently scoped to Kuala Lumpur, but it has been designed from the ground up to support expansion to all states and territories in Malaysia.

Planned future improvements:

Coverage of all Wilayah Persekutuan (Putrajaya and Labuan)
Selangor and other states in the Klang Valley
Prayer time integration via official JAKIM data
Directions and wayfinding integration
Community-contributed reviews and updates
API access for developers and researchers
