Abstract: Islam condemns almost all forms of cheating and views cheating and other forms of misbehavior as heinous sins and source of shame to the individual committing them. The purpose of this research paper is to investigate and find out the relationship between the Islamic religiosity and cheating intention among Malaysian Muslim students with a modified Theory of Planned Behavior. The study employed quantitative method bases of survey strategy through questionnaires and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The study was also based on primary data collected from 221 Muslim students in a selected public university in Malaysia. The study extended the previous study conducted with the same discussion using convenience sampling. The Islamic religiosity represented additional independent variables instead of attitude, subjective norm and perceived behaviour while behaviour intention represented the dependent variable. In this study, the relationship had been analyzed using Smart PLS. Two measured variables (attitude and subjective norm) found a positive relationship between intentions to among Malaysian Muslim students. Thus, implications for stakeholder, educators and higher education’s policy makers are discussed, and suggestions for further research are proposed.
