He died on 26 October 1918 at age 50 and was interred next to his late father at the Al-Ghufran Royal Mausoleum in Bukit Chandan. He was succeeded by his half-brother - Sultan Iskandar Shah Ibni Almarhum Sultan Idris Murshidul Azzam Shah I Rahmatullah.

The Sultan Abdul Jalil Shah Bridge which crosses the Perak River at Kuala Kangsar and Sultan Abdul Jalil Shah Campus (KSAJS), Sultan Idris Education University at Tanjong Malim are named in his honour.
