This paper aims to examine the essence of theoretical foundation in the literary theory from the Islamic values. With getting a clear relationship between literature and Islam, understanding conditions, functions and goals of literature itself in Islam would enable the strategic theory as a way in the law to make the flow to bring all followers of literature, works and audiences to the perfection of human life. Through the literature, the perfection in the sight of God is true and eternal in putting views and assumptions on the right path (Islam) is in line with the demands of Islam itself. The values could be viewed into al-ihsan (goodness, beauty, perfection and beauty) in all things. Tawhid is the fundamental problem that is the focus and the idea of thought begin and end, while the three important aspects of science, charity and faith in the ideals behind the Malay Islamic literary theory.

The debate on integrity is being discussed at present, following the occurrence of moral cases in administration such as corruption, breach of trust, abuse of power and fraud. The cases that have taken place illustrate the negative value of leadership as well as the personality of the leader himself. Noraida Harun & Jady Zaidi Hassim (2017) mentions that bribery has become a major problem of the country and has been a major factor in causing public confidence in the leadership of the country. Actually, there are many leaders of the community and the country who have the qualities of commendable leadership. In the text Sulalatus salatin was told by some of the great Malay leaders. One of the figures is Tun Perak, described by Muhd Yusof Ibrahim (2009) in his study as a great Malay leader and a founder of the Melaka empire. Tun Perak was believed to have the skills of administering the state of Malacca in the reign of the four sultans. This study is aimed at analyzing and detailing the Tun Perak leadership's worthy characteristics in line with the integrity value with the aim of developing a model of leadership with integrity that can be an example for current leadership.

Wilkie (2004) in her research "Out of Place" discussed that theatre has a long history of experimenting with a variety of spatial configurations and visual relationships. However, it is only in the last two decades that the label "site-specific" has been applied to theatrical performance, indicating a new mode of place-bound practice. This paper looks at the association between a performative engagement with place and space and the role of visuals and scenography; an enhancement of a site-specific spatial formatted performance. The study also looks at the function of images as one area of the theatrical's "visual systems" that affects the creation and reception of a play. "Bermulanya Di Sini...Kedah Tua" is a contemporary theatrical research project based upon the archaeological findings in Lembah Bujang. The performance combines three different fields of study: performance, archaeology, and history. This research combines the idea of theory and practice to decode literary and historical sources by triangulating the relationship between archaeological artefacts, architectural space and time.
