advertising influence the awareness to participate in Takaful. This study applies quantitative approach with the use of survey questionnaires as the main instrument of data collection. 40 employees of Perkeso in Kuala Lumpur were selected as respondents of this study. Data collected was analysed using descriptive analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis to conduct this research. In general, finding of this study shows that the religious belief, level of knowledge, family and relatives approach and marketing and advertising have no significant relationship with the awareness to participate in Takaful.
