Philantrophic awareness among corporate companies to implement corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been increasing. Nevertheless, their CSR contribution and impact on the community are still in question due to absence of framework that could serve as benchmark for the CSR implementation. Therefore this study seeks to examine principles contained in maqasid al-Shari'ah (the Shari'ah's objectives) that are relevant with CSR concept to be featured in the CSR implementation framework. This study uses qualitative methods through content analysis design. While data analysis of the study is descriptive in nature. The study shows that maqasid al-Shari'ah and CSR are two concepts that are associative in nature and can be integrated as framework for CSR practise. The framework can be developed through three aspects namely educating individuals, upholding justice and preserving the maslahah (public good). Taking into account the relevance and importance of key principles featured in the maqasid al-Shari'ah, thus this study serves as a catalyst in developing maqasid al-Shari'ah based framework for CSR implementation among corporate companies in Malaysia.
