The hearing process that is embedded in the development plan preparation. The involvement of the public is vital to influence planning decision making. Therefore, all the stakeholders, especially the public needs to understand the process of public participation and it is dynamic because public participation in the preparation of the local plan would influence the output produced in the granted property development. It makes no sense if development decisions do not consider public participation as the public is one of the stakeholders that will have to live with the planning decision outcomes. In Islam, collaborative planning is encouraged and emphasised to have better products and ensure the quality of the plan. Therefore, this study critically analyses the issues and problems that arise in the public hearing process and the relationship between act provision and Islamic working ethics and public participation values in development control. Using a qualitative approach adopted in this research to examines the importance of act provision and Islamic working ethics and analyses the implementation of public participation based on the issues and three Islamic points of view. The research found that Islamic working ethics and values are important in public participation in avoiding the ethical issues in the process and system transparency enhancement.
