The Relationship Between Quran Reading Frequency and Spiritual Well-Being: A Survey-Based Analysis

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between Quran reading frequency and spiritual well-being among Muslim youth aged 16–25. A survey-based quantitative approach was employed, using a self-administered questionnaire to assess Quran reading frequency and spiritual well-being, measured through the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS). The study found a positive correlation between Quran reading frequency and both religious well-being (r = 0.56, p < 0.01) and existential well-being (r = 0.47, p < 0.01). Regression analysis further revealed that Quran reading frequency significantly predicted higher scores on both subscales of spiritual well-being. These findings suggest that regular engagement with the Quran enhances both religious connection and a sense of meaning and purpose, providing valuable insights for youth development programs. The results underscore the importance of integrating Quran reading into educational and mental health interventions aimed at fostering resilience and spiritual well-being in young Muslims.
