His name at birth was Tengku Musa Eddin. Educated privately, he succeeded his father's great-uncle Raja Laut bin Sultan Muhammad as Raja Muda or Crown Prince of Selangor in 1916. An intelligent young man, he represented his father on the State Council established by the British colonial authority.

In 1938, on the accession of his half-brother to the throne, Tengku Musa Eddin presided over the coronation, apparently with no ill-feelings.

He was exiled to the Cocos Keeling Islands . Subsequently, he fell ill and was brought back to Selangor a few months before his death in 1955.
