The Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Malay: Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia, Jawi: جابتن كماجوان اسلام مليسيا), or popularly known as JAKIM (جاكيم), is a federal government agency in Malaysia that administers Islamic affairs in Malaysia. In 1969, Malaysia's Conference of Rulers decided that there was a need for a body to mobilise the development and progress of Muslims in Malaysia, in line with the status of Malaysia as a growing Muslim-majority country and gaining international attention. Realising this fact, a secretariat to the National Council of Islamic Religious Affairs Malaysia (MKI) was established, to preserve the purity of Islamic beliefs and teachings. The secretariat was later developed as the Religious Division, the Prime Minister's Department which was then re-promoted to the Islamic Affairs Division (Malay: Bahagian Hal Ehwal Islam) (BAHEIS).
