This study aims to analyze the need for the content of akhlak (Muslim ethic)constructs in developing the indigenous conversion module. This study uses a quantitative design. Research data was collected using a questionnaire instrument. A total of 173 respondents, indigenous muallaf educators (PMOA) under the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM), were selected using a simple random sampling method. The data were descriptively analyzed using frequency, percentage, and mean score interpretations. The study found that the average value for akhlak construct requirements at a high level is 4.57 (mean = 3.67–5.00). The items in the construct of akhlaks accepted for the development of the indigenous muallaf module are the topics of doing good to parents and family members, doing good to neighbours and friends, halal and haram, halal sustenance, patience and gratitude, and aurat (Muslims dress code). The study's implications show that the module requires a systematic arrangement by considering the attraction factors that help explain akhlak aspects and increase the interest and earnestness of the indigenous muallaf to learn and appreciate Islamic teachings in life.
