 The KLIA Mosque is officially known as Masjid Sultan Abdul Samad. It was named after the late Sultan Sir Abdul Samad ibni Almarhum Raja Abdullah (1804-1898), the fourth ruler of Selangor, under whose reign Kuala Lumpur was established and instruments of Selangor sovereignty introduced.

Sultan Abdul Samad passed after after a reign of 41 years, in which time he has fathered 12 children - six princes and six princesses - with two wives. He outlived his Crown Prince Raja Muda Musa, who passed away in 1884, enabling his eldest grandson, Sulaiman Shah Musa, to assume the throne as Sultan Sir Alaeddin Sulaiman Shah ibni Almarhum Raja Muda Musa (1863-1938), the fifth Sultan of Selangor.
