This quantitative research was performed using a survey method through questionnaires. The total of 623 samples selection in this study using the technique of the proportional cluster random sampling from undergraduate students at the selected Malaysia Public University.

The results of the Hierarchical Regression analysis revealed that the religious school was found to have significant and positive moderator effect on the relationship between spiritual practices and participation. Instead of attitudes, environmental influences perceived behavioural control, appreciation of religion and demographic characteristics affect positively to the participation of Muslim youth in spirituality development program.
