Bait Al Mawaddah, Pusat Jagaan Warga Emas Lembaga Zakat Selangor

About this facility

Bait Al-Mawaddah is an elderly care complex established in 2014 by Lembaga Zakat Selangor (LZS) and Majlis Agama Islam Selangor (MAIS), built on three acres of waqf land in Kampung Jalan Kebun, Section 30, Shah Alam. It was formally inaugurated by the Sultan of Selangor in September 2016. The centre operates under an explicitly Islamic welfare mandate — its name means 'House of Compassion' — and is designed to shelter elderly Muslim asnaf (zakat-eligible poor) in Selangor who are abandoned or lack family support capable of caring for them. The construction cost RM3 million and the facility has been recognised with a Selangor State Outstanding Senior Care Centre Award from JKM.

The centre has 26 rooms accommodating up to 52 residents. Facilities on site include a clinic room, physiotherapy room, prayer hall, lecture hall, dining hall, and landscaped gardens. Programmes include morning exercise classes, handicraft sessions, cooking activities, and regular Islamic education — fardhu ain classes and religious lectures. The health programme integrates disease prevention, continuous monitoring, psychosocial support, and healthy lifestyle practices as a formal framework.

Admission eligibility is strict and non-negotiable: applicants must be Muslim, registered as fakir or miskin asnaf with LZS, aged 60 or above, and — importantly — must be physically capable of self-care at the point of entry. This means Bait Al-Mawaddah does not accept bedridden residents or those with significant nursing dependency at admission. There is no fee structure published because the facility is funded through zakat and waqf. Families with a non-Muslim relative or a Muslim relative who does not qualify as asnaf will need to look elsewhere; this centre is not open to the general public.
