Religion has been considered as a framework for the sense of meaning and purpose. The aim of the present
study was to explore the perception of Muslim students who practice their religion towards meaning of life and
to investigate the association between religiosity, personal meaning, and psychological well-being. Respondents
were 60 Muslim students studying at University of Southampton and Birmingham in England. The participants
were administered Life Attitude Profile-Revised Scale (Reker, 1999), Sources of Meaning Profile-Revised
Scale (Reker, 1996), Psychological Well-Being Scale (Ryff, 1989), and Strength of Spiritual Belief Scale (King,
Speck, & Thomas, 2001). Findings of this study showed that Muslim students perceived their life meaningful.
They derived and experienced meaning from various sources and the most important sources of meaning were
taking part in religious activities and engaging in personal relationships with family/friends and the least
important sources of meaning were participation in hedonistic activities and acquiring material possession.
Furthermore, there was a positive association between various dimensions of personal meaning and different
components of psychological well-being, spirituality and religiosity. This study has implications for religious
scholars and psychologists working on religion
