N2 - The Scale of Islamic Religious Practice (Abu-Rayya et al., 2016) was developed for a study that examined the extent to which life satisfaction mediates the relationship between Islamic religiosity and deviancy amongst Muslim youth. The nine-item scale gauges the practice dimension of Islamic religiosity. It measures the degree to which participants engage in compulsory and extraobligatory Islamic acts of worship. Compulsory Islamic practices within the scale include prayer, charity, fasting, pilgrimage, Mosque attendance, conveying positive Islamic messages, and the reciting of the Quran. Islam prescribes divine punishment for neglecting to fulfil these practices. Extra-obligatory acts that a Muslim would be divinely rewarded for practising, but not punished for neglecting, included the reading of Islamic religious material (other than the Quran) and the attendance of religious congregations. Participants responded on a 5-point Likert scale from 0 to 4, for example, “When it comes to prayer (Salaat) I. . . 0. Never pray; 1. Occasionally pray (on special occasions such as Eid, funerals i.e., Jannazah etc); 2. Only pray some of the 5 daily prayers; 3. Always pray all 5 daily prayers; and 4. Always pray all 5 daily prayers and extra-obligatory (Sunnah) prayers.” Cronbach’s alpha reliability of the scale was .87 in a sample of 200 Australian Muslims aged between 18 and 25 years.
