Driving behaviour is the key cause of road accident. The main goals of the
research study are to explore the assimilation of Islamic values in the respect of driving
behaviours and its relationship towards reducing the rate of accidents in Malaysia.
Therefore the research study examines the safe driving in aspects in Islam. Secure driving
in Islam is based on a number of important elements that comprise of driving goals, travel
planning, education in driving sciences and driving skills. All these features were
thoroughly peeled off from the perspectives of Islam based on the sources of the AlQuran and Sunnah.
The literature reviews cover the aspects related to issues regarding Islamic values
in driving behaviours and road accidents which are not only focussed to Muslims but to
all types of religion believes and ages. A methodology was planned and carried out to
analyse the types of driving behaviour. The use of questionnaire survey and observation
method was used as a platform to reveal the solid data. In total, 202 respondents from
various types of religious believes, age and education level participated in the
questionnaire survey. Meanwhile, 202 participants were also observed in the selected
areas of Nibong Tebal and Parit Buntar on their driving behaviour in the aspect of not
taking other people's rights in Islam. Thus, the information generated from the results
allowed for a complete analysis of the driver behaviour.
Therefore, the findings from this research study have resulted in the complete
