Abstract: The study explores the effect of students' religious behavior on their emotional intelligence development at the university level. Emotional intelligence has gained significant attention in educational, psychological, and social studies, and research has focused on it for the past 20 years. The sole objective of the study was to analyze the effect of students' religious behavior on their emotional intelligence at the university level. The researchers used the descriptive research method, and Niu (2020) claims that the findings of the descriptive study reveal population features and composition. The researcher used simple random sampling to select the sample from the population. The researchers collected data from 300 university students to accomplish their research. The questionnaire was used as a research tool, and the overall reliability of the questionnaire was Cronbach Alpha coefficient of 0.78. The researchers personally visited the study sample and collected data from the respondents. After collecting the data, the researchers put the data in SPSS and ran the statistical techniques of frequency, percentage, mean score, and standard deviation. In conclusion, the data indicate that university students generally associate religious habits with positive emotional and social relationships, and there is potential for growth in areas such as emotional regulation and self-management. Furthermore, it is concluded that they would benefit from this integrated approach in academic contexts and life, which would equip them with crucial life skills for navigating complicated social and emotional dynamics.
