Jawi is a writing system for the Malay language in the education system in Malaysia, particularly in primary schools. Islamic education textbooks in both primary and secondary schools are also written in Jawi. In fact, all subjects in religious schools use Jawi-written textbooks. Thus, students must master it well so that their understanding of Islamic education will become more effective. Based on previous studies, it is acknowledged that there are weaknesses among students in mastering Jawi. Among the factors identified are the teacher's level of knowledge or poor content knowledge (CK) in Jawi. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the level of content knowledge (CK) in Jawi among Islamic Education Teachers (IETs). This quantitative study was conducted with 50 IETs in the Keramat District, Kuala Lumpur. There are two main constructs of CK, which are curriculum knowledge and subject knowledge. The findings showed that both constructs had high mean values of 4.20 and 4.18, respectively. The overall mean value of CK is at a high level of 4.18. This shows that IETs have a high level of knowledge in Jawi. Thus, this shows that IETs' scientific factor is not the main reason for the students' weaknesses in the mastery of Jawi.
