AB he paper attempts to extend the literature of the sociology of religion by studying the everyday religiosity of the Muslim community of Bangladesh. Based on a survey of a convenience sample of 516, between 18 and 50 years of age and belonging to the affluent middle class, the study explores the religious beliefs and practices of the Muslim consumer class. It is found that religion plays a pivotal role in what they wear, eat, or drink. Usually, prayer is the key to Muslim religiousness and believing the existence of heaven is central to their religiosity. The exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis validate the usage of the items as the measurement tool.
