Abstract: Religious enthusiasm can be seen when the masjids in Malaysia have joined in for the recognition of green buildings. Up until now there are two masjids which have been recognized by the Green Building Index, which are Masjid Ara Damansara in Petaling Jaya and Masjid Cyberjaya in Cyberjaya (GBI Malaysia, 2016). Masjid Cyberjaya is the first masjid in the country to be recognized with a green building platinum status. Generally, a platinum status is the highest recognition and would meet all the criteria of the green building index in Malaysia. Therefore, this paper examined the characteristics of green buildings in Masjid Cyberjaya that meet the requirements of a tasawur, which is the first principle in Islamic based development (IBD). Two methods has been identified. First, library research. Second, interview the masjid management.
