Actionable remedial strategies are essential to respond to the awareness on some collective and institutional Islamic concepts. Some Islamic concepts or principles incorporate both individual and collective implications. It is important for Islamic organizations and educational institutions to assess the level of knowledge and understanding of Muslim students at higher learning institutions (HLIs) in particular so that they may formulate appropriate strategies to actively connect the next generation of Muslim leaders to the maintain and enrich the collective institutions underlying the principles. Students of HLIs are targeted for the preliminary study because they represent the impact of relevant environmental exposure in primary and secondary schools and now at HLIs. The study has developed a special-purpose scaled research instrument to assess collective Islamic concepts which include bait al-mal, zakat and waqf. Based on the findings on the levels of awareness of the respondents, the research would propose strategies to Islamic organizations and educational institutions to consider in implementing new programs or enhancing existing ones.
