“…Reviewing the interviewees' profiles confirms that men write about religious appearance and female write about religious behavior, with both indicating the importance of praying every day. This result fits with the findings of a study by Badahdah and Tiemann (2005), who conducted a content analysis of online personal advertisements for Muslims living in America, and with the results of Mishra, Monippally, and Jayakar's (2013) study examining the sexual strategies of Indian Muslim men and women in online matrimonial advertisements. All confirm that users of Muslim matrimonial websites look for a spouse with religious attributes.…”

While traditional Saudi Arabian courtship is rigidly structured according to Islamic codes of conduct, Saudis over the past decade have increasingly turned to unconventional means, e.g., matrimonial websites, to find and court a potential spouse. Using qualitative semistructured interviews (N = 36), the analysis of the data revealed four main categories that demonstrate the reasons behind Saudis joining matrimonial websites: more opportunities, freedom from the limitations of offline interactions in Saudi culture, personal reasons, and encouragement.

“…Traditional interpretations of the Quran regarding gender differences with respect to marriage, as well as empirical research provide support for this hypothesis. For instance, in the United States, Badahdah and Tiemann (2005) analyzed “lonely heart” advertisements in newspapers and magazines, and found that women tended to advertise their religiosity and indicate their preference for a religious partner significantly more often than men. Hanassab (1998) found that Iranian American parents were stricter with their daughters’ than with their sons’ dating life, and Al-Yousuf (2006) noted that British Muslims showed stronger disapproval of their daughters’ outmarrying compared with their sons’.…”

With diversifying immigration over the years, many Western countries have become increasingly multicultural and multireligious. One of the products of this diversification is an increase in the number of interfaith couples. For instance, about one third of all marriages in the United States were interfaith as of 2007 (Campbell & Putnam, 2011). In Canada, in 2001, an estimated 19% of all married or common-law couples consisted of partners from two different religious backgrounds (Clark, 2006). 1 Increasing rates of interfaith unions may reflect not only structural

“…Riaz (2005), in a study of forms of religious commitment in the Muslim community, measures religiosity in five dimensions, namely believe in religion, worship, obedience, experiential, and destiny. Similarly, Badahdah and Triemann (2005), in their study investigate the features undertaken in selecting housemates among Muslims. They measure religiosity based on several dimensions such as devotion to Allah SWT, being a righteous man, obedient to the instruction of Allah, believing in the religion, believing in the hereafter and wearing hijab.…”

Quantitative Islamic religiosity measurement and its related studies are hardly found in literature. As a result, many researchers have used the conventional measurements which are derived from the West. The suitability of these measurements in Islamic environment is questionable. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine the quantitative Islamic religiosity measurement from the Islamic perspective and to determine whether the composition of these measurement associates are in compliance with the behaviour of zakat. A survey was carried out on 227 respondents. Results indicate that the components measurement of religiosity has four dimensions. From the results of regression analysis, this study finds that business owners who are highly religious are also more likely to comply with zakat law. Thus, this study concludes that religiosity measurement from Islamic perspective is as complex as the conventional ones and it is composed of several dimensions. It also suggests that religiosity plays an important role in zakat compliance behaviour.

Justeru, ramai penyelidik telah menggunakan ukuran konvensional yang diasaskan oleh Barat. Namun, kesesuaian penggunaan ukuran ini dalam persekitaran Islam boleh dipersoalkan. Oleh itu, tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk mengkaji ukuran kuantitatif keagamaan dari perspektif Islam dan menentukan sama ada komponen ukurannya berkait dengan gelagat mematuhi tuntutan zakat. Suatu tinjauan terhadap 227 responden telah dijalankan. Keputusan menunjukkan empat dimensi timbul sebagai komponen ukuran nilai keagamaan dalam Islam. Dari hasil analisis regresi, kajian mendapati bahawa ahli perniagaan yang mempunyai nilai keagamaan yang tinggi adalah lebih cenderung untuk mematuhi undangundang zakat. Justeru, kajian ini menyimpulkan bahawa ukuran keagamaan dari perspektif Islam adalah sekompleks ukuran konvensional dan terdiri daripada beberapa dimensi.
