<![CDATA[Religious literacy is increasingly important in Islamic education as students encounter religious claims across classroom, community, and digital contexts. This study examined the associations of spiritual intelligence and scientific attitude with religious literacy among ninth-grade students in an integrated Islamic junior high school in Jambi, Indonesia. A cross-sectional correlational design was used. Of 46 eligible students, 23 provided complete analyzable responses. Spiritual intelligence, scientific attitude, and religious literacy were measured using adapted instruments whose content validity and internal consistency were assessed before analysis. Spearman's rho was used as the primary analysis, while HC3-robust multiple linear regression was used as a complementary exploratory analysis. Spiritual intelligence showed a positive correlation with religious literacy (rₛ = 0.426, p = 0.043), but the association did not remain significant after Bonferroni adjustment (α = 0.0167; 95% bootstrap CI [-0.021, 0.742]). Scientific attitude was not significantly correlated with religious literacy (rₛ = 0.183, p = 0.403), whereas spiritual intelligence and scientific attitude were correlated with each other (rₛ = 0.553, p = 0.006). The regression model was not significant, F(2,20) = 1.538, p = 0.239, R² = 0.133, adjusted R² = 0.046. Given the small complete-case sample and cross-sectional design, the findings are preliminary and context-specific. Larger studies should test how meaning-making, evidence-oriented dispositions, and digital religious information jointly relate to religious literacy in Islamic schooling.]]>
