The present research aims at constructing a Scale for Measuring Secularity from Islamic point of view. In this research, a valid questionnaire has been prepared using Islamic teachings to be used as a scientific scale for individuals' secularity. In this regard, a 60-item questionnaire was prepared based on parameters of secularity extracted from Quranic verses and Islamic traditions, and was conducted as pretest in a limited scope. Initially, the content validity of this scale was confirmed by ten Islamic scholars; the questionnaire then was conducted in the statistical society (Allama Tabatabaie University, Imam Khomeini Institute, and Office of Islamic Propaganda) composed of 276 subjects. Its validity was at 0.892 through Cronbach's Alpha, at 0.99 through Pearson Correlation method for retest, and 0.955 through split-half method of correlation. The research results in the sample group also shows that secularity in single persons is more than married persons, and in academics more than seminary students.
