The present study formulates a scale consisting of items that have valid and reliable psychometric properties to measure Muslim religiosity, and to see whether any variations exist by gender and age. In a sample of people aged 10 and older with at least primary education, the study found that four factors (Religious Involvement, Religious Commitment, Religious Beliefs, and General Optimism) can measure Muslim religiosity with a high level of validity and reliability. Muslim females are more religious than males and religiosity increases steadily with age.
