Abstract

In the modern business landscape, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) serves as a vital instrument for companies to demonstrate their commitment to society and the environment. However, from an Islamic perspective, social responsibility is not merely a moral obligation, but a religious duty rooted in the principles of Islamic ethics. The background of this study lies in the importance of applying Islamic business ethics in CSR practices to support the realization of a holistic societal welfare aligned with the concept of Islamic welfare. The purpose of this research is to analyze how Islamic ethical principles are integrated into CSR programs and to what extent they contribute to the development of community welfare.
This study employs a descriptive qualitative method using a library research approach, examining Islamic literature, business ethics theories, and CSR practices in companies that adopt sharia-based values. The findings indicate that implementing CSR based on Islamic business ethics-which emphasizes honesty, justice, trustworthiness (amanah), and compassion-can generate significant social impact. CSR programs such as corporate zakat distribution, sharia-based entrepreneurship training, educational assistance, and environmentally sustainable initiatives rooted in Islamic values have proven to support the sustainable development of Islamic welfare. Therefore, the integration of Islamic business ethics into CSR not only enhances corporate reputation but also strengthens the role of business as a driver of social and economic development within the community.
