“…Remembering the significant role of Islamic Identity, there has been some research conducted related to Islamic Identity. However, the studies only focused on Islamic identity development (Aginta Hidayat, 2017;Azmi et al, 2021;Kabir, 2015), negotiation of Islamic Identity (Brzozowski, 2018;Chen & Tabassum, 2019;Muhtadi et al, 2017;Wang, 2018), and measurement of Islamic Identity (Case & Chavez, 2017;Hakam Shah et al, 2012;Villani et al, 2019;Wright & Young, 2017) None of the studies related to the role of Islamic higher education in developing the students' Islamic Identity.
