Privacy is a major focus and can be achieved through visual and acoustic separation of public and private spaces. Buildings should also encourage cleanliness, enhance safety, avoid excess, and integrate sustainability principles like those seen in grand mosques and green buildings.

    SOME REFERENCE ABOUT


    DWELLING
    The basic right of the son of man is for three things; house to live in, a piece
    of cloth to cover his body, a loaf of bread and water. (Narrated Al tirmidhi)
    Having a dwelling falls within the necessary minimum that must be sought by
    everyone since lack of it causes people to be displeased with God and even
    sometimes to deny Him. ( Imam al-Ghazali)
    The prophet says that house is the best place on earth. The prophet
    considers owning a house is a contribution to happiness.

    GENERAL PRINCIPLE
    Concerning the architectural design, neither the Quran nor the Sunnah provided
    detailed codes of building design and construction.
    This is in no way ignorance on the part of Islam about building design.
    On the contrary, it is recognition of the fact that cultural customs changes from
    time to time and from one place to another.
    Islam permits all buildings to relate with own custom and design as long as they
    do not conflict with shariah, the main sources of which are the Al Quran and
    Sunnah.

    1st PRINCIPLE

    PRIVACY
    Similarly, the prophet Sunnah stress the importance of the privacy of the
    home. The prophet said,
    Permission for entering the house should be sought three times, and if
    permission is granted to you then go in, otherwise
    go back ( Sahih
    Bukhari)

    PRIVACY
    The prophet went to extent of instructing his followers that a man should not
    enter his own house suddenly or surreptitiously.
    He should not somehow indicate to those inside the house that he is
    entering, so that he may not see his mother, sister or daughter in a condition
    in which they would not like to be seen, nor one in which he himself would
    not like to see them.

    PRIVACY; FROM THE QURAN

    MEANING
    O you who have believed, let those whom your right hands possess and those who have not [yet]
    reached puberty among you ask permission of you [before entering] at three times: before the
    dawn prayer and when you put aside your clothing [for rest] at noon and after the night prayer.
    [These are] three times of privacy for you. There is no blame upon you nor upon them beyond
    these [periods], for they continually circulate among you - some of you, among others. Thus does
    Allah make clear to you the verses; and Allah is Knowing and Wise.(24:58)

    PRIVACY
    The aspect of privacy should be considered in order to make good social
    interaction between occupant and neighbours.
    Thus, the public and private area shouldbe clearly divided, and the activities
    within these spaces cannot be mixed.

    PRIVACY
    Privacy can be best achieved through two categories:
    1) Visual privacy

    2) Acoustical privacy

    PRIVACY
    1) Visual privacy
    a) Entrance or door
    b) Opening window
    c) Height and high projection
    d) Sex segregation-rooms
    2) Acoustical privacy
    a) Acoustical construction(EG. Partition of western public toilets)
    b) Acoustical spatial organisation

    PRIVACY
    We are not encouraged to design door that are opposite to each other and
    the door should be offset in order to prevent a person standing at an
    entrance from looking directly into the house opposite or adjacent.
    The placement of the entrance door also related to the width and the
    function of the street on to which the door was opened.
    Building door opposite two houses is not permitted. The privacy of the people
    inside the house could be intruded upon when the door is open.

    HOUSE DESIGN
    Do you know the right of neighbor .. You must not build to exclude the
    breeze from him, unless you have his permission.. (Ibn Adi an Al Kharati)
    Privacy inside house can be maintained by giving special design treatment
    for public and private area.
    Privacy of the owner and guest should be considered.
    Direct visual access between the guest area and the family area are
    prohibited.

    GUIDING PRINCIPLES
    ACOUSTICAL PRIVACY
    On the day of resurrection, lead will be poured into the ears of anyone who
    eavesdrops on others who dislike him (narrated by Al Bukhari)
    Ideally, buildings should have acoustic insulation; from wall, floor and ceiling
    (flanking transmission)

    DIRECTION OF BUILDING
    Do not face the qibla when you defecate or urinate ,but face east or west and
    if you want to defecate ,then do not face the qibla or turn your back to it, but
    face east or west (Al Bukhari)

    AVOID WASTAGE; AIM FOR


    SIMPLICITY
    The prophet Sunnah stresses that humility should be practiced by Muslims. To
    avoid exaggeration, extravagance, and desire for fame or glory. The Quran
    also warned against excess and exaggeration.

    AVOID EXTRAVAGANCE
    The principle of humility was reflected practically in the life style of the
    prophet whose bed was a layer of palm fibres covered with a simple fabric.
    The prophet house was also very basic and simple without any luxurious item
    and huge. Even though he was the leader of the Arab world his house was
    small and simple like other normal people.
    Jabir reported that the Prophet said;
    There should be a bed for a man, a bed for his wife and the third one for
    the guest, but the fourth one is Satan

    CLEANLINESS
    Building design must encourage cleanliness.
    Example: the hose in IIUM toilet.
    The Prophet said that Cleanliness is a branch of Iman.

    SAFETY
    Building design must enhance safety of users and visitors.
    Balcony of high rise buildings.
    Corridor of shopping complex.
    Escalator
    Clear signages

    Question is.
    What About Grand Mosque?
    What about Green Buildings?
