Second, students demonstrated high levels of sejahtera living across all dimensions: religion (Mean=4.74), life (Mean=4.55), wealth (Mean=4.33), intellect (Mean=4.04), and lineage (Mean=3.85). Furthermore, the analysis revealed that all tadabbur dimensions (adab, mastery, and sources of learning the Qur'an) had a statistically significant influence on students' sejahtera living dimensions (religion, life, intellect, wealth, and lineage).
