6. Conclusion
The Islamic garden starts from the early century after the establishment of the Islamic city-state,
Medina in the 622 AD. Through the inspiration of the Persian garden in the seventh century, the idea
starts to spread out until it reaches the early 20th century where the modernization has slowly interfere
with the Islamic garden concept. The Western approach has become the current trending. This situation
has caused the Islamic garden to slowly disappear. Other than that, the falls of the Muslim empire are one
of the reasons that cause the decreasing number of the Islamic garden. This has led to the limited access
to the physical evidence of the Islamic garden. Hence, the study on the Islamic garden is perceived as an
important strategy in order to preserve the legacy of the Muslim empire. Other than that, it is important tohighlight that the Islamic garden is not limited to the pattern, form or structure. The Islamic garden
promotes the environment that can stimulate the appreciation towards God. The statement suggests that
any gardens that have the eight principles will be considered as Islamic garden.
In response to the heterogeneous society in Malaysia, it is identified that Malaysia as a Muslim
country comprises of a heterogeneous society. Through the efforts of the current and previous Prime
Minister, it is discovered that Malaysia is in the transition process of creating an Islamic environment.
Therefore, the ideas of implementing the Islamic garden into the heterogeneous society in Malaysia is
perceived as relevant and encourage effort to support the governance approach in creating an Islamic
environment.
