Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3 present the results obtained from both the historical movement of
the Islamic garden and the data collected during the site studies. These findings underscore the
arrangement of physical characteristics within a garden space. According to the results, the fundamental
principles of the Islamic garden revolve around the water, plants, and lodgement order. The organization
of these orders is deemed a crucial step in evaluating and incorporating the garden concept into garden
design.

Currently, the concept of the Islamic garden is undervalued and overlooked. The National
Landscape Department (NLD) attributes this situation to the absence of proper guidelines to reference for
implementing Islamic gardens in Malaysia. A lack of knowledge and understanding of the concept serves
as the primary contributing factor to these issues. The results from the semi-structured interview are
presented in Table 4.
