Heritage buildings in Malaysia represent a confluence of cultural, religious, and architectural histories. However, the integration of Naqli principles—derived from Islamic teachings—into the preservation and modernization of these structures remains underexplored. This paper addresses the research gap by examining how Naqli concepts such as Rububiyyah (man to God), Ubudiyyah (man to man), and Mulkiyyah (man to environment) are applied across five selected heritage buildings in Negeri Sembilan. The research objectives are to identify the extent to which these principles influence the design and conservation strategies of these buildings, to analyze their effectiveness in maintaining the cultural, religious, and ethical integrity of these structures, and to propose a framework for the systematic application of Naqli principles in modern architectural practices, particularly in the preservation and adaptive reuse of heritage buildings. A qualitative methodology was employed, involving site visits, architectural analysis, expert interviews, and document analysis to gather comprehensive data on the implementation of Naqli principles. The findings indicate a significant but inconsistent application of these principles, highlighting areas where modern interventions could better align with Islamic teachings. The study concludes with recommendations for incorporating Naqli principles in contemporary architectural practice, emphasizing their potential impact on cultural sustainability and community well-being. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the role of Islamic values in heritage preservation, offering a model that can be adapted to similar contexts globally.
