Developing and Validating an Instrument to Measure Religious Field, Field of Worship and Morality at the Rahmatan Lil' Alamin Foundation in northern Thailand

Based on the researcher's observations, the influence of Islamic da'wah and education carried out by Yayasan Rahmatan Lil 'Alamin needs to be studied in depth to identify the aspects of effectiveness and challenges faced by this institution in carrying out its mission. Through this study, emphasis will be given to the extent of the effectiveness of Islamic education in guiding converts towards an appreciation of the true teachings of Islam. An analysis will also be carried out on the da'wah programs and activities implemented by this foundation, as well as their suitability with the current needs of converts. Through a study of the experiences of other institutions that are also active in the field of Islamic da'wah and education, it was found that there is still a great need to develop a strategy that is more effective and relevant to the unique needs of converts in non-Muslim societies. Islamic education in this context needs to be holistic, with the goal of guiding converts to develop spiritually and be able to adapt socially in a balanced way. This study was conducted to develop and validate an instrument based on the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) process to measure the factors Religious Field, Field of Worship, Morality. This study used a quantitative research method by analyzing the relationships between variables in the study model. Before the data was analyzed, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was conducted to identify the suitability of the items used in the study instrument. This study explains in detail the procedure for conducting Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) for each factor. The findings of this study show that the validity values based on Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO), Total Variance Explained (TVE), Factor Loading and reliability values based on Cronbach's Alpha, have met all the required values.
