- Abstract
Generally, the study was conducted to determine the level of knowledge of internalizing the Muslim school heads on the six articles of faith and the state of religious observance on the five pillars of Islam. It explored the influence of the socio-demographic and economic profiles and selected factors on the six articles of faith and pillars of Islam and the significant relationship between articles of faith and five pillars of Islam. Data revealed that certain factors affect religious observance of Muslim school heads. They had a moderately strong knowledge in internalizing the six articles of faith in terms of belief in Allah’s Angel, Books, and Prophets; but weak in faith of Belief in Allah, Day of Judgment, and Allah’s Predestination. They have internalized Shahaadah; oftentimes observed Shalaah, Zakat, and Sawm; but sometimes observed Hajj. The respondents were aware of their roles in observing the articles of faith and pillars of Islam but they did not faithfully perform it for some reason. This study recommends that Muslim school heads should know and perform their religious obligation because the only reason why Allah created Man and Jinn is to Worship Him.
