Student motivation and engagement play an important role in learning and academic achievement. Closely related to motivation is self-discipline, the ability of students to monitor and control their own behaviors. Students who are highly self-disciplined may be able to better focus on long-term goals and make better choices related to academic engagement. This concept paper aims to explore the concept of self-control that can be applied to promote students’ motivation thus increase their behaviour and performance towards academic excellence. Specifically, it aims to examine the human level of existence from the Islamic perspective. Findings from this study suggest that the extent of self-control and the level of human existence are related to individual’ level of religiosity. Students that have mutmainna level of existence have high spiritual conscientiousness thus have the capability and capacity to control their behaviour towards academic excellence.
