    abstract = {This study reports a study on the influence of faith-based 
  behaviour on the religious behaviour delinquency. Faith-based behavior consists 
  of 6 pillars of faith: belief in Allah, prophets, angels, scriptures, life after 
  death and divine decree. According, to As-Syatibi delinquent behaviour is divided 
  into 5 categories: delinquency in religion, life, mind, heredity and property. 
  This classification is based on the basic human needs (dharuriyat) from the 
  aspect of maqosid syariah. Faith-based behavior is expected to abstain one from 
  indulging in delinquent behaviour from religious point of view. Research questionnaires 
  were developed consisting of items on ritual behaviour and delinquent behaviour 
  forms. About 600 respondents from eastern part of peninsular Malaysia participated 
  in the study through the multi-stage stratified sampling method. Data were analysed 
  using path analysis. Results indicated that belief in Allah (β = -0.415) 
  followed by belief in scriptures (β = 0.171) significantly influence all 
  five forms of delinquent behaviour. This suggests that prayer is the most influential 
  preventive measure in abstaining one from delinquent behaviour.}
