description Malaysia is always dwelled within the effort towards building a stronger and united community. This is also emphasized by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad when he introduced Vision 2020 and among the challenges in the vision is to develop a caring, moral and ethical society. However, there is a significant drop for Malaysia in the World’s Happiness Index ranking. The report on index of happiness include the level of generosity among the community that are able to interact and corporate with each other. In relation to this matter, neighbourhood environment provides the social landscape that indirectly influences human interaction and develops sense of community. In order to ensure the right approach for development of social interaction, deciding on a set of values to be integrated in a neighbourhood design is a necessity and it can be comprehensively referred from Islam as the religion always emphasizes on the concept of ummah (brotherhood and unity) as well as the rights of neighbours not only with the muslims but non-muslims as well.
