description It is unknown whether Malaysia is an Islamic state or a secular country. This study is paid on how the Islamic state should be viewed. By doing the research, three perspectives had been analysed and critically viewed. The three perspectives mentioned were religious, political and legal. From the view of religious, 4 schools of thought and modern scholars' emphasis more on how Al-Quran as the sources of law and how Prophet Muhammad administered Medina as an Islamic state. From the political perspective, each party in Malaysia view Islamic state from their ideology of the parties.
