As a result, the promotion of behaviors in accordance with the Islamic way of life was not successful. Moreover, 2) the youths in the experimental group who participated in activities organized by the Sarong Conservation Club had a significantly higher level of Islamic way behavior than those in the control group who participated in activities organized by the mosque at .01.
