Early life and education
Sharafuddin was born on 24 December 1945, at the Istana Jema'ah in Klang, as the first son of the Raja Muda (Crown Prince) of Selangor, Tengku Abdul Aziz Shah and his first wife, Raja Saidatul Ihsan binti Tengku Badar Shah (1923–2011).{{cite news |title=Life's a simple and beautiful journey, says Sultan |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=DkAhAAAAIBAJ&dq=sharafuddin%20of%20selangor&pg=1474%2C440681 |work=Sultan of Selangor's Birthday |publisher=New Straits Times |date=11 December 2002 |pages=6–8 |access-date=3 June 2011}}{{cite news |title=Selangor Sultan's mother dies |url=http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/5/31/nation/20110531125627&sec=nation |work=The Star (Malaysia) |date=31 March 2011 |access-date=3 June 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110603062812/http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=%2F2011%2F5%2F31%2Fnation%2F20110531125627&sec=nation |archive-date=3 June 2011 |df=dmy-all }} He was named Tengku Idris Shah at birth.{{cite web |title=Biodata Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah |url=http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/SpecialCoverage/agongmangkat/index.asp?y=2001&dt=1122&pub=agongmangkat&sec=Berita&pg=be_15.htm |work=Utusan Malaysia |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180303233636/http://ww1.utusan.com.my/utusan/SpecialCoverage/agongmangkat/index.asp?y=2001&dt=1122&pub=agongmangkat&sec=Berita&pg=be_15.htm |archive-date=3 March 2018 |url-status=dead |date=22 November 2001 |access-date=24 August 2019 |language=ms}} His father was the eldest son of Hisamuddin of Selangor and Raja Jemaah, who later became the second Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King of Malaysia) and his mother the Raja Permaisuri Agong (Queen of Malaysia).

He received his primary education at Malay Primary School, Kuala Lumpur when he was nine. He then attended St. John's Institution from 1954 until 1959.
In 1960, his father became the Sultan of Selangor, taking the regnal name Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah. In the same year, Sharafuddin was proclaimed the Raja Muda of Selangor at age fifteen. He was sent abroad to continue his education, attending the Kinross Wolaroi School in Orange, New South Wales, Australia, from 1970 and later Langhurst College in Surrey, United Kingdom, from 1974.
After returning from the United Kingdom in 1968, Sharafuddin joined the government as a public servant, and was attached to the Selangor State Secretariat under the administration of Menteri Besar Harun Idris. He served in the Kuala Lumpur District Office and Kuala Lumpur police department.
In 1970, he was formally installed and took oath as the 8th Raja Muda of Selangor in a ceremony held at the Istana Alam Shah, Klang.{{cite web|title=CV HRH Sultan Selangor 100218|url=https://selangorroyaloffice.files.wordpress.com/2018/03/cv-hrh-sultan-selangor-100218.pdf|website=selangorroyaloffice.files.wordpress.com|publisher=Selangor Royal Office|access-date=6 March 2018}}
On 24 April 1999, he was appointed as Regent of Selangor after his father became the 11th Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
Sultan of Selangor
On 22 November 2001, Sharafuddin was proclaimed Sultan of Selangor, succeeding his father, who died after serving two years as Yang di-Pertuan Agong.{{cite news |title=Fulfilling a Ruler's destiny |url=http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2003/3/8/nation/sultan08&sec=nation |work=The Star (Malaysia) |date=8 March 2003 |access-date=3 June 2011 |last=Kee |first=Hua Chee |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121018131333/http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=%2F2003%2F3%2F8%2Fnation%2Fsultan08&sec=nation |archive-date=18 October 2012 |df=dmy-all }} He took the regnal name Sharafuddin (connoting 'religious enlightenment' in Arabic), and is styled as Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.

His formal coronation took place on 8 March 2003 at the Istana Alam Shah in Klang.{{cite news |title=State to reach greater heights |url=https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2003/03/09/state-to-reach-greater-heights |work=The Star (Malaysia) |date=9 March 2003 |access-date=24 August 2019 }}
The event started with inspection of Royal Guard of Honour made up of 103 members of the Royal Malaysian Navy by Sharafuddin. He entered the throne room accompanied by a procession of palace officers. He carried out a few rituals including kissing the Quran and kissing the royal regalia, Keris Terapang Gabus before being crowned by the Selangor Mufti.{{cite news |url=https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2003/03/09/day-steeped-in-tradition |first=Frederick |last=Fernandez |title=Day steeped in tradition |date=9 March 2003 |access-date=3 October 2019 |work=The Star}}

Reign
As sultan, he is known to have revoked state awards conferred by him or by his father. In 2007, he revoked the Dato' title of a businessman who pleaded guilty to financial fraud. He has also suspended others who have been charged in court for various misdealings or faced bankruptcy.{{cite news |title=Selangor Sultan strips trader of title |url=http://findarticles.com/p/news-articles/new-straits-times/mi_8016/is_20070809/selangor-sultan-strips-trader-title/ai_n44373155/ |publisher=New Straits Times |date=9 August 2007 |access-date=3 June 2011}}{{cite web |title=Laman web rasmi Darjah Kebesaran Negeri Selangor |url=http://awards.selangor.gov.my/awards/warta.php?&cat=17&offset=20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190824062353/http://awards.selangor.gov.my/awards/warta.php?&cat=17&offset=20 |archive-date=24 August 2019 |access-date=24 August 2019}} In 2011, he suspended the datukship of former transport minister Chan Kong Choy in relation to the latter being charged in court over the Port Klang Free Zone scandal.{{cite news |title=Ex-minister and bankrupt lose Selangor titles |url=http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?sec=nation&file=/2011/4/11/nation/8458075 |work=The Star (Malaysia) |date=11 April 2011 |access-date=3 June 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110414012652/http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=%2F2011%2F4%2F11%2Fnation%2F8458075&sec=nation |archive-date=14 April 2011 |df=dmy-all }}
The 2008 general election saw sweeping political change in Selangor. For the first time, Barisan Nasional (BN) did not win control of the state assembly. Sharafuddin presided over the swearing-in of the first non-BN Menteri Besar of Selangor.{{cite news|publisher=The New Straits Times |url=http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Thursday/NewsBreak/20080313173454/Article/index_html |title=Khalid Ibrahim sworn-in as new Selangor Mentri Besar |date=13 March 2008 |access-date=13 March 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080314043108/http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Thursday/NewsBreak/20080313173454/Article/index_html |archive-date=14 March 2008 |url-status=dead }}
In May 2009, he underwent a ten-hour open heart surgery at Stanford University Medical Center in Palo Alto, California.{{cite news |title=Sultan Selangor Stabil Selepas Pembedahan Lapan Jam |url=https://utusan.com.my/berita/nasional/sultan-selangor-stabil-selepas-jalani-pembedahan-lapan-jam-1.289035 |work=Utusan Malaysia |date=4 May 2009 |access-date=24 August 2019 |archive-date=24 August 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190824063420/https://www.utusan.com.my/berita/nasional/sultan-selangor-stabil-selepas-jalani-pembedahan-lapan-jam-1.289035 |url-status=dead }}
In early 2011, Sharafuddin intervened in a crisis over the appointment of the state secretary, the state's highest-ranking civil servant. The federal government appointed Mohd Khusrin Munawi to the position, which was consented to by Sharafuddin.{{cite news |title=Khusrin takes his oath at last |url=http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2011/2/17/north/8083255&sec=north |work=The Star (Malaysia) |author=A.

In 2014, Sharafuddin revoked the 'Dato' Seri' title of Anwar Ibrahim following the Kajang Move political crisis.{{Cite news |date=2014-12-04 |title=Selangor Sultan revokes Datuk Seri award given to Anwar Ibrahim |url=https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/selangor-sultan-revokes-datuk-seri-award-given-to-anwar-ibrahim |access-date=2024-03-13 |work=The Straits Times |language=en |issn=0585-3923}}
In 2020, The Straits Times reported that Sharafuddin owned shares in a company that planned development in the Kuala Langat North Forest Reserve. Following the report and public uproar, the state government cancelled the plan.{{Cite news |last=Hassan |first=Hazlin |date=2020-02-21 |title=Malaysia's Pakatan Harapan at loggerheads over a Selangor plan to clear forest reserve |url=https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/malaysias-pakatan-harapan-at-loggerheads-over-a-selangor-plan-to-clear-forest-reserve |access-date=2024-03-13 |work=The Straits Times |language=en |issn=0585-3923}}

In July 2024, Sharafuddin underwent cataract surgery on his right eye. According to an announcement by the Selangor Royal Office on Facebook, the surgery had been delayed for the past eight months but did not give a reason. He had previously had the same surgery on his left eye.{{Cite web |last=Times |first=New Straits |date=2024-07-16 |title=Sultan of Selangor to undergo cataract surgery|url=https://www.nst.com.my/amp/news/nation/2024/07/1077341/sultan-selangor-undergo-cataract-surgery|access-date=2024-07-16 |website=NST Online |language=en}}
