Abstract : The present study aimed to study the relationship between religiosity and psychological wellbeing in Muslim Clerics in Kashmir. Earlier research has acknowledged a positive relationship between the two factors. The sample (60 men and 40 women) with an age range from 20 to 60 years was chosen. Religiosity operationalized as religious gatherings attendance, belief salience, and frequency of prayer. Anxiety, loneliness, and life fulfillment chosen as dependent variables because they are important facets of psychological well-being. Reliable with previous research, correlation statistics suggested that a strong, negative relationship does indeed exist between religiosity and loneliness (r = -0.852) and between religiosity and anxiety (r = -0.511). A strong positive relationship was also found between religiosity and life satisfaction (r = 0.76) Thus, the results of this study supported the hypothesized relationship between religiosity and different facets of psychological well-being.
