The concept of religious freedom based on the Islamic perspective and the National Constitution is not absolute and limited. Because of that, several groups of Non-Governmental organizations (NGOs) emerged, such as the Islam Interfaith Commission (IFC) or Inter-Religious Centre (IRC), the Group of Article 11, and the Coalition of Malaysian NGOs in the UPR Process (COMANGO), which called for an absolute understanding of religious freedom as it is set forth in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Among the issues repeatedly associated with religious freedom in Malaysia is the issue of apostasy. Therefore, this research is conducted to identify the level of Muslim students’ understanding of the concept of religious freedom in Malaysia. This research is qualitative and exploratory-based, using a set of questionnaires as an instrument to collect data. By using the purposive sampling method, a total of 404 respondents were selected among Muslim students at government or private higher learning institutions in the Klang Valley. The research found that the level of Muslim students understanding of the concept of religious freedom at Klang Valley is high, with a minimum score of 4.32 (sd = 0.82). This finding shows that although there are several issues concerning religious freedom and a variety of demands from NGOs who are promoting the new and liberal concept of religious freedom, Muslim students still continue to understand the concept as it was institutionalized in the National Constitution and Islamic principles.
