Abstract: This paper aims to assess the perception of Malaysian Muslim youth concerning spirituality development programs and its determinants. To achieve the objectives of this study, primary data was collected using a structured questionnaire and a quantitative approach was employed. Out of the total of 3,648 collected responses, the data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, and multiple regression techniques. It was found that the average perception score of Muslim youth concerning the management of spirituality activities was 7.67 on a 10 point scale revealing that there is some room for improvement. Further, the management of spirituality activities among Muslim youth was found to be influenced by a total of eight (8) dimensions which include age, education, familial and peer influence, shariah, akhlak, akidah and the need for the spirituality program. Thus, for the management of spirituality activities to be effective, the quality and design of the content, the method of delivery, and the active involvement of a knowledgeable facilitator need to be prioritized.
