The present work aimed to investigate the levels of knowledge, attitude, and practice of
prophetic food consumption among UniSZA students. The present work was conducted from
September 2017 until April 2018 at the UniSZA Gong Badak Campus, Terengganu. In this
cross-sectional study, a total of 217 students were recruited by convenience purposive
sampling method. A questionnaire was based on the prophetic food consumption details,
consisting of four sections, namely; demographic data, knowledge, attitude, and practice of
the consumption. Reliability test found that the validity and internal consistency of the
questionnaire to be acceptable with a Cronbach Alpha value of 0.752. Data were analysed
using Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet 2013 and SPSS version 21.0. The results showed that most
of the respondents had good knowledge of prophetic food consumption (45.6%). More than
half had a good level of attitude (66.4%), and only a minority of them (38.2%) had a poor
practice of prophetic food consumption. Based on Independent t-test and One-Way ANOVA
statistical test, there was a significant difference in the mean attitude scores between male and
female students, mean attitude and practice scores between the three age groups, mean
knowledge scores between the three fields of study groups, and mean knowledge, attitude, and
practice scores between the four religions. A positive correlation was observed for the three
domains, namely between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.71), knowledge and practice (ρ =
0.37), and attitude and practice (ρ = 0.43), based on Spearman or Pearson correlation test. In
conclusion, the importance of prophetic food must be highlighted and shared among
multi-religious university students for them to be more familiar with the relevant health and
sustainability issues. The students may employ effective attitude and behaviour towards the
practical implementation of prophetic food if they are provided with more integrated
knowledge in the learning environment of the university.
