The word civilization can be interpreted to state that social life of community. Other terms with similar meaning of civilization is hadarah means the advancement in the aspect of thinking, moral and social in life. The word civilization in English comes from the Greek word ‘civitas’ meaning town or city. Malay civilization refers to a civilization that is formed by a group of people who are widely classified as a Malay group, focused on a region in Southeast Asia, known by various names such as the Malay Archipelago (Malay Archipelago), the Malay-Indonesian Archipelago, Archipelago, Nature Malay and Jawi Land. Two important things that have in the regions of civilization is the Malay language, which became the language of wide communication (lingua franca) throughout the world, and the religion of Islam which is complementary to the formation of Malay civilization. Acceptance of Islam as the basis for Malay civilization is the most important developments and formed a Malay Muslim civilization of excellence, glory, and distinction. Islamic civilization is more emphasis on the human dimension of how to build it especially spiritual and intellectual rather than emphasizing the things that are physical or material. Moreover, Islamic civilization already being adapted among the Muslim and spread widely around Malaysia. Many Islamic infrastructures that we can see to show how great the Islamic civilization in Malaysia such as Masjid Jamek in Kuala Lumpur and Masjid Tengkera in Malacca. This show how big the community of Islam in Malaysia and also being adapted in Malaysian daily life. The conclusion, the basis for the construction of a civilization consist of materialistically aspect and spirituality. Therefore, we have to respect the heritage of our civilization and keep it for our young generation. 4 2.0 Objectives 1.

Naturally, Kuala Lumpur got its name by being muddy as it was located by the river side. In the heart of Kuala Lumpur, resides Masjid Jamek, the oldest mosque found in this concrete jungle. As we all know, Kuala Lumpur became the main city in Malaysia because of its valuable tins found in the soil of Ampang. In fact, It was the first place people started settling in. Miners and traders often stop their boats by the river to take a small rest. This river, located next to Masjid Jamek was also the route used to send the immigrants to Kuala Lumpur for working purposes. Not long after discovering the richness of the soil with tins, Chinese and Indian workers were migrated to Kuala Lumpur for tin mining and rubber tapping through these two rivers. Goods and tins were being transported down the river from Ampang and Sungai Port Klang which made Sungai Gombak and Sungai Klang a very popular trading centre. Businessmen would often dock there and open up their business near the mosque. As the population of Muslims increase in Kuala Lumpur, Nakoda Yusof had endowed (wakaf) the land in between the two rivers on 23rd March of 1908. Tombstones and dead bodies were found around the area, these said artefacts were moved from the ground away. The land was then officially endowed (wakaf) as some coins were buried into the ground. The mosque (Masjid Jamek) was then built on this land. “Jamek” came from the Arabic word that means “Congregation”, a fitting name for the said mosque. On the 23rd of December in 1909, the construction of Masjid Jamek was completed. The Sultan of Selangor had come down to the mosque to officially open it to the public. Masjid Jamek was made to be the official mosque and it stayed as the official mosque for 56 years until 1965, when the National Mosque was built. Later in the year 2005, Masjid Jamek was named the “Warisan Kebangsaan” by the “Kementerian Perpaduan, Kebudayaan, Kesenian dan Warisan 5 Malaysia”. In 2008, it was opened to the public as one of the most popular tourist attractions in Kuala Lumpur. The beautiful and intricate design of the mosque was designed by Arthur Benison Hubbock. Sir Arthur had gotten his inspiration from the Mogul architecture from Northern India. He implemented the Minarets and Domes into the design to create a one of a kind, beautifully eye catching Mosque. The construction of the mosque had cost a total of about rm30,000. The money to build the mosque was raised through subscription from the Malaysian community as well as government funds. The mosque got a renovation and was extended in the year 1988 so that it was able to cater to 8000 people in the ever-growing city of Kuala Lumpur. However, during
