Takaful is an Islamic insurance concept and has been growing rapidly in Malaysia at the moment. Even though the majority of people in Malaysia are Muslim, they still don’t understand the real concept of takaful (Shamsuddin, Tang Howe Eng, & Lajim, 2016). Hence, the objectives of this study is to measure the understanding of motor takaful contract as well as to measure the understanding of motor insurance contract and to measure the comparison of the understanding between motor takaful and insurance contract among respondents. There are 20 respondents that involve in this study where all the respondents are staff at Universiti Teknologi Mara Puncak Alam.
