Malaysia has become one of the most world’s favourite destinations among Muslim travellers. The rapid evolution in the Malaysian Islamic tourism industry has created a greater prospective for Malaysia to become a major player in the Islamic hospitality and tourism industry to offer the best Muslim-Friendly Hospitality Services (MFHS). The increasing need for Shari’ah-compliance services become essential in order to cater the demand and needs of largely untapped but lucrative niche market of Islamic hospitality services. Based on the need of Islamic hospitality in providing services that is in accordance to Shari’ah, this paper aims to firstly undertake the exploration on the Islamic hospitality based on al-Qur’an and hadith, and secondly to investigate the state of the realisation of Islamic hospitality in Malaysia. This paper uses a library research method approach in order to accomplish the objectives and provide the deliverables. The outcomes indicate that Islamic hospitality is indeed embedded in the Islamic way of life itself, and Malaysia to some extent has endeavoured a significant effort in realizing the Islamic hospitality, especially through its Muslim-friendly hotel services.
