Description

The Religiosity of Islam Scale (RIS) is a tool designed to assess the degree of religiosity of individuals who follow Islam. This scale examines various aspects of religious practice and belief, such as the adherence to religious obligations, participation in religious activities, and the influence of religion on the individual’s life.
The Religiosity of Islam Scale typically includes:
Participation in Religious Rituals: Measurement of the frequency of participation in fundamental Islamic rituals, such as prayers (Salat), fasting (Sawm), and almsgiving (Zakat).
Commitment to Religious Practices: Examination of the individual’s devotion to daily religious practices and ethical principles of Islam.
Personal Faith and Perception: Evaluation of the personal faith, relationship with God (Allah), and perceptions regarding religion and ethics.
Impact on Life and Social Behavior: Recording how religiosity affects daily life, relationships with others, and social behaviors.
