Authors work presented in this book is an alternative overview of civilization i.e. civilization seen from a viewpoint of the Malay Islamic perspective. A civilization that has the human being as the focal element of development, while the moral ethical and religious elements are the fabrics that bind and determine the final pattern and shades of the development. In order to encounter and overcome the hegemonic elements of the secularizing West, the empowerment of the Malay Islamic element of civilization is indeed most essential, as proposed in this book.
