Abstract

A study was conducted to assess the level of knowledge on the diet and eating etiquette according to Islamic manners among Muslim students of Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS). This study also aimed to determine their level of practice on diet and eating etiquette practiced by Muslim students of UMS in Kota Kinabalu. Convenience sampling was used in the study and 364 administered questionnaires were distributed at main campus of UMS. Nevertheless, only 273 of the questionnaires were analyzed by using the total score, frequency, descriptive analysis, and chi square test. The findings indicated that the level of students’ knowledge on the diet in Islam was high which was 48% (n= 131) while the level of students’ knowledge on eating etiquette in Islam was moderate, which was 53.8% (n=147)
