The Implications of Practicing Solat on the Morality of Students at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Kompleks Mengabang Telipot

Prayer is the second pillar of Islam after the declaration of the two testimonies of faith and is obligatory for every Muslim. The act of praying serves as a form of communication between a servant and their Creator. This study aims to identify the implications of practicing prayer on the morality of students at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Kompleks Mengabang Telipot by examining the level of knowledge, the practice of obligatory prayers, and the implications for morality. The study employs a survey design and random sampling technique, with data analyzed using descriptive and inferential methods. The respondents consisted of 191 Form Four and Five students from Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Kompleks Mengabang Telipot in Kuala Nerus, Terengganu. The research instrument was a questionnaire. The results of the study indicated that the level of knowledge about prayer was high (Mean=4.37, SD=0.50), the level of practice of obligatory prayers was also high (Mean=4.28, SD=0.41), and the level of the implications of obligatory prayers on morality was equally high (Mean=4.25, SD=0.58). Pearson correlation inferential analysis was used to examine the relationships between the independent variables, revealing significant correlations between them. Therefore, the researcher hopes that the school and parents will continue religious programs to maintain and enhance the level of knowledge and practice of prayers among students, thereby fostering students with noble character.
