Abstract

The role of religion is multidimensional across the societies in which it is practiced and acted upon. The major roles can be ideological, such as belief-making, prayers, spirituality, morality, political and economic concepts, and the social system. In light of this idea, this article aimed to explore the construction of moral, spiritual, and emotional beings. The researchers used a qualitative intrinsic case study, interviewing 25 female undergraduate students selected through purposive sampling. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis.  The findings reveal that religion plays an important role in sacred trust, understanding of right and wrong, integrity, divine support, and fortune; these categories are grouped under one theme named "provident". The research provides a novel understanding of religion and its impact on female undergraduate students in District Kohat.
