This increase in crime rates shows that people in the Malay area are experiencing a decline in character. There have been various speculations that cultural customs, teachings, and advice on trust are no longer respected, or perhaps those who live in the Malay area have not been given teachings regarding the noble values of Malay culture, which are based on the Koran. Therefore, the dimension of religiosity related to Malay ethnic beliefs in the book needs to be reconstructed and internalized with the aim of strengthening Malay ethnic beliefs, and people living in Malay areas believe in the Koran as a guide to life.

Data was collected through reading, noting, and interpreting techniques, then coded to count the number of occurrences using the AnCont application. The validity of the data goes through a verification and validation process by experts in the fields of literature, Malay, and religion. Malay ethnic faith in the Koran appears in several categories, namely: (1) knowing God by devoutly reading the Koran; (2) Ethnic Malays use the Koran as Imam; (3) encouraging children to honor the Koran; (4) customary lines that are based on syarak and syarak based on the Book of Allah; (5) diligently listening to the reading of the Koran is believed to expand knowledge; (6) making the Koran a guide for life; and (7) diligently studying the Koran as a sign of Malay luck.
