Abstract---This research aims to define various Islamic based identity
profile to different individuals by identifying the various degrees of
Islamic based identity profile. A scale of measurement in ordinal scale
has been used to determine an Islamic based identity profile. The
scale is subdivided into three main subsections, namely very rarely,
average level and very frequently. By using the scale of measurement
on an ordinal scale, it assists in developing a numerical hypothesis
that is then used to determine an individual's Islamic based identity
profile using the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence. Using twenty-
four set of questions, the research used the evidence presented to
support a given Islamic based identity profile of a specific individual
and filtered it using various degrees of probabilities of the evidence
theory model, which have aided in proving or validating a particular
hypothesis. The questions are divided into three types based on
Islamic identity profile which include Fitrah, Khalifah and Din. The
conclusion made is that we may be able to easily diagnose an
individual’s Islamic based identity profile using Dempster-Shafer
theory of evidence.
