Keywords: Islamic city, Network of Mosque, Business Model Canvas, Society welfare, Quadruple Helix Model
1. Introduction
Today, people use mosque only for the purpose of Ibadah. But,we realize that Network of Mosque (NoM)
has a great potential to improve social welfare for the society who live around the mosque. By harnessing
Network of Mosque (NoM) we can help the people to save time without having to go to a government or
industry building. Mosque committee will provide many kind of service such as for marriage class and
education, hajj and umroh training, waqaf and zakat collection and contribution, Islamic learning, and
more. Based on the Office for National Statistics (ONS) (Measures of National Well-being, 2014), there are
ten factors to consider in order to measure the national wellbeing. From their graphic, health is one of the
factor that is important for national wellbeing. From ONS National wellbeing graph, health, personal
wellbeing, relationship, and education and skills are some of the factors that we need to understand. And
Islamic city program can help the government to improve the national wellbeing from these factors.
Islamic City developed to create the wellbeing for society. One of its program is to provide medical service
that will benefit for society's health and helping the government in providing the medical treatment to the
society (Portal resmi Kementrian kesehatan Malaysia, 2014). Islamic city developed using Network of
Mosque that will create the better relationship to the people around the mosque. Personal interaction
between the society and committee can bring the positive impact and satisfy the customers (Azam, 2013).
In education sector, Islamic City has a program to educate the people. Islamic city provide an online and
offline class for Muslim and Non-Muslim society. Moreover, Islamic city developed to help people in their
activities. With Islamic city, the personal wellbeing can be improved to create the happiness in the
society.
Program Background: This paper proposed the developing of wellbeing by creating Islamic city
harnessing of the Network of Mosque (NoM). Through our program we are trying to make a lot easier for
the people. We propose Mosques to be our center services. Since we can find mosque everywhere, than
we can provide many activities that can help more people. The focus targeted audiences of this program
are all the people who lives around the mosque interfaith everyone. This program has the potential to
provide quality services for the society and improve the level of awareness’s of the society. This can be
achieved by providing certain services and programs, namely: marriage class and education, hajj and
umroh training, waqaf and zakat collection and contribution, Islamic learning. This program synergize
with the Whole of Government (WoG), where similar/related/cluster of government agencies collaborate
to achieve the goals(Habiba, et. al, 2013). Besides that, this program also offered Quadruple Helix Model
(QHM), which is a concept in innovation research that that integrates Government, Academia, Industry &
Citizen/Community (Ania Fuzi, 2013). Islamic city project provides services to help the Muslim society,

this services include immigration problems and counselling, legal advice, marriage counselling, marriage
arrangement counsellor and setter-up information, family planning advice, making the Muslim
communities aware of help and opportunities available for them, have some sort of facilities to the help
the destitute, temporarily homeless. We also try to organize a group of people for welcoming visitors to
the mosque and advertising mosque functions to the community. Then we can reach our vision as the
religion of "Rahmatan Lil Alamin" (mercy to all mankind).
Program Objectives: The main objective for this paper is to propose the creation of Islamic city to create
the wellbeing for society. Islamic city defined as a city where the communities are well advanced in terms
of education, economic, services and social lives according to Islamic traditions (Rabah Saoud, 2002). By
harnessing Network of Mosque (NoM) we can help the people to save time without having to go to a
government or industry building by providing the service for them. Mosque committee will provide many
kind of service such as for marriage class and education, hajj and umroh training, waqaf and zakat
collection and contribution, Islamic learning, and more.Islamic City can collaborate with Lembaga Tabung
Haji to provide the hajj, umroh and other Islamic activities (Bimbingan – Lembaga Tabung Haji, 2014).
These can make the Muslim society more convenient on performing their obligation as a Muslim. As we
know, almost all of the services that has been mentions are very rare to be seen at the similar
place/centre, the Muslim society might spent a huge cost to reach each of the service. This is an
opportunity for the Muslim to centralize all of the Muslim activities in one place as we call it as an “Islamic
City”. In Islamic city, Islamic scholars around the world are encourage to be contributed in Islamic city in
order to give sermonsfor people who are needed or lack of Islamic knowledge. This Islamic city can be
accessible all over the world but also played a very important role in spreading Islam and also to clarify
the misconceptions of non-Muslims about true of Islam.
This project will bring the wellbeing to the society. This program offers Quadruple Helix Model (QHM)
which involves the Government, Academia, Industry, and Citizen as the main actor. It will cooperate with
a government institution such as Jabatan Kebajikan Malaysia (JKM), Ministry of Health Malaysia (KKM),
Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM), and Tabung Hajj department of Malaysia. Besides, this
program will collaborate with hospitals and clinics in Malaysia to provide and improve the health service
to the society. For event development, this program will include the public company such as wedding
event organizer that will help society in managing and organizing the wedding activities. For educational
cluster, this program will collaborate with universities in Malaysia and the society expertswho want to be
volunteers. As the main actor in this program, mosque committee has a significant impact to handle the
program through the network of mosque.
2. Literature Review
The world mosque or masjid taken from Arabic language which is sujud (sajada). It means the devoted,
loyal, and with bowed heads with full of respect and reverence. The mosque use for many function, not
only for worship but also to seek for knowledge, Muslim centre activities, as well as the centre developing
economic of the ummah. According to Omar Bakri (Muhammad, O. B, n.d.) on his book The Role of
Mosque explained that in the prophet time, there are 20 activities/tasks which we expect from the
mosque. Some of the activities that expected from the mosque are the mosque as the Judiciary Court,
themosque as the headquarters of the Islamic State's supreme leadership, themosque as a section of the
Department of Information and Culture,themosque as the University for Learning and
Teaching,themosque as the platform for oratory, eloquence and poetry, themosque as the hospital where
casualties of war are treated, the mosque is a home and refuge for the poor, needy and the travellers, the
mosque as an eating place for the hungry and the needy and the Mosque as a place for consultation and
exchanging views. From the points above, only few activities that handled by the mosque in this time.
Today, the Mosque do not act as the Muslim centre anymore, Muslim uses mosque as the place for
religious practices only. We as Muslim should expand the culture of the Mosque based on the prophet era,
as a key role of Muslim activities. We need to return the Mosque to its original function.
In this globalization era, we may utilize the Mosque as the Muslim centre in order to develop Islamic
country. We can have many Islamic activities that can be handled in the mosque. This activities can be
implemented in different program. We can harnessing the Network of Mosqueto establish the Mosque as
a centre of education, marriage course, zakat collection and distribution, Umroh and Hajj training, halal
certificate distribution, Islamic seminars, and providing other value-added services to the people who live
around the mosque. But, in order to develop Islamic city, all stakeholders must give its contribution

including Government, Mosque committee, company, and the society (Habiba, et. al, 2013). Then, we can
improve the social welfare for those people who live around the mosque. In Malaysia, Urban
Transformation Centre or UTC becomes one of the good example to improve the social welfare for people
around him. UTC is one of the government effort and initiatives providing the urban community with key
government and private sector services under one roof. With UTC, people around can come for many
activities. The services that UTC provides are, National Registration Department, MyEg, Public
Transportation Commission (SPAD), Immigrations Departments, Department of road transportation (JPJ),
Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri (LHDN), and Companies Commissions of Malaysia (Treasury-UTC, 2012).
The main purpose of UTC is to provide the business service centre that bring the social welfare to the
society. Based on the News Strait Times dated 6 of August 2014, the government targeted 123000
business registrations for the Goods and Service Tax (GST) which bring the social welfare for those who
life around UTC(Dasspetaling, 2014).
Currently, the coverage of UTC is still not nation-wide.Thus, the researcher suggests the Network of
Mosque as the solution to improve the social welfare because we can find the mosque even in remote
areas. We can use this network to develop Islamic country that will served the Ummah better just like
what the sahabah did in the prophet era. We can also can learn from Smart city concept. Smart city is the
concept is really a framework for a specific vision of modern urban development. Smart city recognizes
the growing importance of information and communication technologies (ICT) as drivers of economic
competitiveness, environmental sustainability and general liveability (Alcatel-Lucent, 2012). Smart cities
are expected to be the key to combine a sustainable future with continued economic growth and job
creation which also bring the welfare to the society. The main purpose of Islamic city is to establish a
“user-driven” based development model to enhance the community quality of life. Islamic City project
combines and merges government agencies services and voluntary services in an easy way, saving money
and time. Islamic City project will connect all the Mosques in Malaysia through Network of Mosque (NoM)
and provide Services for the Society. As we can find mosques almost everywhere in Malaysia, we decided
to use NoM to create an Islamic city which the basic services will be delivered through it. The activities
that will be served in the Islamic city project through theNetwork of Mosque are:
1. Community classes: Community classes’ purposes to educate people become better. This will help
Muslim youth to learn how to read the Quran, learn about Islamic history, manners and Etiquettes,
traditions of the holy prophet (SAW), Fiqh as well as memorization of the Quran. And for the Non-Muslim,
they may joined the language class. So, they can learn English and Arabic language that can be benefit for
their future. We can have Muslim communities who are fluent in Arabic and English to teach them.
Furthermore, we also have special classes for Elders women and men separately. As the fact is, that in our
societies we find many elders who cannot even read the Quran. We will provide special classes teaching
how to read the Quran properly and memorizing the small surah’s of the Quran so that they can read in
their prayer. This will also help the elders invest their time in a good matter and gives them the
opportunity to meet each other and strengthen the bond of Muslim hood. All the teaching services
mentioned above not only for the Muslims. We will also encourage and welcome the non-Muslims to join
these classes. This can be a good example of Da’wah.
2. Marriage-related services: Marriage is the Sunnah of our prophet. Based on themalaymailonline.com
dated march, 3rd 2014 there are 148,806 Muslim marriages in 2012, according to the Department of
Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) and a total of 65,993 marriages were registered in 2012 (Su-lyin,
2014). This number shows that there are the significant numbers of marriage in every year. With Islamic
City, we can help people who want to get married by providing marriage service. These services include
marriage registration, certification and wedding event. For marriage event, NoM will also cooperate with
other wedding organizer. Besides, Islamic City also provide birth certification and marriage consultation.
3. Zakat and Waqaf collection and distribution: Zakat is the practice of taxation and redistribution,
including benefits paid to poor Muslims, imposed upon Muslims based on accumulated wealth. It is
obligatory for all who are able to do so, and it is considered to be a personal responsibility for Muslims to
ease economic hardship for other Muslims to eliminate inequality among followers of Islam (Wikipedia,
2014). As the centre of Muslim community, Zakat can be collected through the mosque and it can
distribute to the needy people around the mosque. This benefit will bring the wellbeing to the society
who live around the mosque because the mosque committee know who are the needy and can distribute
it to the right people.

4. Promoting Halal Product: Network of Mosque unable us to distribute and promote the halal product
easily. One of the conceptual solutions for promoting halal product via Network of Mosque is an
eHalal4All Program which aim to raising the economic and social status of rural
communities/entrepreneurs in Sabah, Malaysia (Abdul Rahman, et. al, 2014). We can cooperate with
JAKIM in order to succeed on of their program in promoting Halal Product (Bantuan Kebajikan – Jabatan
Kebajikan Masyarakat Malaysia, 2014). Thus, it can improve the wellbeing for the society.
5. Sermons and Islamic lecturers: As the centre of Muslim society, Mosque can be used to spread
Islamic value. One of the way to spread Islamic value is through the lecturer and sermons. Mosque also
can be used as the place for those who want to convert to Islam, and people who just converted to Islam
can present in Islamic lecturer and learn basic Islamic activities such as how to perform wudhu, prayer,
and so on.
6. Umroh and Hajj learning: With harnessing the Network of Mosque, government can easily manage
and monitor the people who intent to perform Umroh and hajj easily. Mosque committee can cooperate
with Tabung Hajj for Umroh and Hajj learning activities. It included the registration of Hajj and Umroh,
the seminar about Hajj and Umroh, learning and guidance and counselling about Hajj and Umroh. Besides
that it also helps the people to apply for passport, health test, payment of the costs, and the updated
information about hajj.
7. Medical centre: Based on the WHO Statistics, Malaysia has a big number for the total expenditure on
health per capita in Malaysia which is $692 (WHO Malaysia, 2012). With this conceptual solution, mosque
can be used as the medical centre. Thus, Muslims without insurance or those who are in need of
emergency help can receive treatment. It can be conducted by cooperating with the minister of health
Malaysia and the nearest hospital to the mosque. With Network of Mosque, people can save their time and
money because they do not need to go further if they need any treatment.
8. Home for the disable, needy, and traveler: Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat (JKM) declared that one of
their objective is to help the disable people (Bantuan Kebajikan JKM, 2014). With network of Mosque, we
can cooperate with JKM to provide the home for disable people and needy. Not only that, mosque can be
used as the home for travellers, especially for those who spread the Islamic messages (da'wah).
9. Eating place for the hungry and needy: Today, Malaysian government concerned and makes the
poverty eradication as one of the primal priority. (Abdul Rahman, et.al, 2014). In Islamic city, we can help
government to control and help the disable, hungry and needy people. Based on the Department of
Statistics Malaysia, the poverty rate went up from 3.6 percent in 2007 to 3.8 percent in 2009 while the
hardcore poverty rate remained at 0.7 percent. (Suara Sarawak, 2012).Thus, by utilizing the network of
mosque the Islamic City can collaborate with government institution like JKM to feed the disable, hungry,
and needy people. People may also give their Sadaqah to the mosque to feed the needy. Moreover, we may
have the fasting and future together as the weekly agenda in the mosque so that we can help the people
around us.

Figure 2: Islamic City Portal (Menu Page)
10. Islamic city portal: Islamic city portal is an online website that consists of all information regarding
the activities in the mosque including the service that provide by the mosque and its procedures. With
Islamic city portal, people can get and update any information directly through their gadget. Islamic
portal also provided articles that can be read for free by visitor. Moreover, it also has an online learning
that provided to the people who want to learn Islam via internet. People must pay subscription fees in
order to get these features. The ten activities above can improve and guide to the wellbeing of society.
With network of Mosque, it is not impossible to develop Islamic City. The current and future trend of
people to come to the mosque at least for performing five times prayers. At this five times, people comes
and gather to perform Islamic rituals. And people gathering may have a great potential, not only for
silaturrahmi but also to build and improve their life. Mosque that build in the centre of the city or village
and can be used as central of activities because of its strategic location. With Network of Mosque, we can
provide more service and activities to the society around the mosque. Then, we can improve the
wellbeing of the society.
Proposed Conceptual Solution: In order to create the Islamic city, we can utilize the use of Network of
Mosque to develop wellbeing to the society. Ibnu Khaldun as one of Islamic Scholar states that
entrepreneur is seen as a knowledgeable individual and is instrumental in the development of a city-state
where enterprises will emerge (Mervyn, K. 2007). We can practice this concept to the network of mosque
to improve our social welfare. Managing and creating the Mosque as the Community center can help
people in many activities. Moreover, people can find the mosque everywhere which will reach more
targeted audience that will cover more people in the society. In Islamic City, we also come with an online
portal that include all information and activities that related to the Islamic City activities. This portal will
help people to view and get the updated news about the mosque and its activities. It will include the
procedure to apply marriage certificate, halal promotion, and Learning material. Also it will display the
event that will be hold by the mosque committee such as seminar information and wedding event. Not
only that, it also will include the khutbah, islamic teaching, and Islamic articles that can be read by the
society for free. The society can also do an online consultation via Islamic city portal. Thus, it can develop
the wellbeing of people and make society’s activities become easier. In order to achieve its goal, this
program will collaborate with many government agencies including Islamic Department of Malaysia,
Ministry of Health Malaysia, Jabatan Kebaikan Masyarakat Malaysia,and Tabung Haji Malaysia. Also it will
collaborate with the university and academia in order to provide Islamic activities such as sermons and
Quranic learning. In industry and Malaysian company, this program also collaborates to achieve its goal
as Islamic City, such as a wedding organizer. Mosque committee plays an important role in Islamic City.
They will handle the activities with collaboration with the government, industry, academia, and society
who will use the system.

Bookshop, cafeteria, and Halal food-store could be incorporated into the areas around the mosques.
