This study explored the prevalence of sejahtera living—an idea rooted in the belief that Islam is a way of life—among students at an Islamic university in Malaysia, and tested the extent to which the students’ responses to the questionnaire items on the concept constituted meaningful and interpretable facets of sejahtera living. A total of 596 students voluntarily participated in the study, with the sample being split into two random halves. The first subsample (n1 = 298) was used to identify the underlying facets of sejahtera living, while the other half (n1 = 298) served as the sample for a cross-validation procedure.
