Abstract: Recent research highlights fundamental role of Islamic values in shaping Muslim individuals' behaviors, attitudes, and lifestyles. Deeply rooted in Islamic teachings, these values influence personal conduct, social interactions, and decision-making processes. There were 230 students from the University of Southern Mindanao, who participated in this study. Majority of them were within 19 to 23 of age, 73.5% were females and were mostly in their third year. This study used the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to assess the adherence and practice of Muslim college students to Islamic values. Analyzing factor loadings, estimates, covariances, and model fit indices, the study identifies robust relationships across three factors: religious practices, ethical conduct, and social and personal values. Results indicate strong associations between latent factors and indicators, particularly within the first factor, religious practices. Positive covariances between factors further support these relationships. Modification indices suggest areas for model refinement. Overall, the proposed measurement model fits the data well, providing insights into students' adherence to Islamic values and suggesting avenues for further research to promote holistic development and well-being among Muslim Filipino college students.
