have become the focus of extensive concern, resulted in a growing number of researches on these issues.Malaysia is no exception. Following the growing number of older persons in Malaysia recently, issue of religious commitment of older persons has been an interesting issue to be discussed.

religious commitment of older people with a special reference to the rural older women in Felda Chiku, the district of Gua Musang, Kelantan, Malaysia.Using a non-probability sampling technique, a total of 70 older residents aged 50 years and above in Felda Chiku 1, Kelantan were selected as respondent.Results of the study
