| Summary: | The aim of this study was to examine the factorial structure of the Ummatic Personality Inventory. One of the constructs in UPI,
Ibadah (worship) was measured to understand the relationship among the factors namely, Fardhu ‘Ain (articles of Faith and
Islam), Fardhu Kifayah-Deen (Islamic-related activities), and Fardhu Kifayah- ‘Aql & Mal (Nurturing mind and wealth). The
sample of this study was a group of female students (n= 287) in a government school. Data was analysed using Confirmatory
Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling. The findings for the structural model revealed that Fardhu ‘Ain correlated to
the Fardhu Kifayah (commitment to Islam). This reflects that Fardhu ‘Ain -closing to God, following the teachings of Prophet
Muhammad- is significantly related to Islamic-related activities, more particularly participating in Islamic organization and
giving charity. The closing to God and following the teachings of Prophet Muhammad has a strong direct effect on mental health
and well-being. Thus, more efforts should be put on educating the closing to God and following up Prophet, representing Fardhu
‘Ain. In future, a deeper analysis of this nature could be made on the other remained construct of Ummatic Personality Inventory
and personal functioning of commitment to Islam. |
