The findings generally revealed that all dimensions of religious harmony were at a moderately high level.

The study offers a valid measurement to determine the level of religious harmony that will advise the government to take appropriate measures to mitigate religious conflict and promote mutual understanding within multi-religious society.Zulkefli Mohd Ikhwan IzzatEndut Mohd Nuri Al-AminAbdullah Muhammad Ridhuan Tony LimEDP Sciencesarticlereligionharmonymulti-religious societypreliminary studyperakSocial SciencesHENFRSHS Web of Conferences, Vol 124, p 02003 (2021)
