dc.description.abstractLiberalism is an ideology that emerged in the 18th century and that advocates for striving to secure the rights of freedom of speech and religion. In Malaysia, liberalism is presented as ‘Liberal Islam’ to demonstrate its harmony with Malaysian culture and society. It is propagated through various social media platforms, especially Twitter. Social media has become a favorable platform for propagating the idea of ‘Liberal Islam’, and its function which is widely and easily accessible is an important factor that contributed to the dissemination of controversial ideology. Therefore, this study aims to develop an instrument measuring the perception of Muslims towards Liberal Islam’s interpretation of marital issues. The principal data acquisition involved the utilization of a self-administered questionnaire, disseminated through an online survey to 35 participants during the preliminary investigation. The selection of respondents employed a purposive sampling approach targeting Twitter users. The analysis of the gathered quantitative data was done by utilizing SPSS version 29.0. The instrument was developed based on a literature review, Content Validation Index (CVI), and pilot test. The instrument is divided into three constructs: first, knowledge about liberalism; second, knowledge about ‘Liberal Islam’; and third, perception towards the interpretation of ‘Liberal Islam’ on marital issues. The CVI results showed that the questionnaire is valid. A pilot study was conducted to test the reliability of the items. The Cronbach Alpha (α) values for the first (0.739), second (0.793), and third (0.869) constructs were adequate. Overall, these results indicate that the self-constructed questionnaire has succeeded in developing an instrument that measures the respondent’s knowledge of liberalism and ‘Liberal Islam’ and their perception of ‘Liberal Islam’ interpretation. The outcome of this study is expected to counteract the spread of ‘Liberal Islam’ ideology among the Malaysian youth, thus preserving the authentic interpretation of the Quran and Hadith.
