description Measurement in Islamic Religion has become the most critical focus in the Psychology of Religion. There are various attempts to measure the religion of Islam from multiple dimensions including beliefs, practices, values and attitudes.

We also suggest direction for research in this area that empirically based on grounded Islam Theory.
