This article examines Imam al-Shafi'i's contribution to the development of community values and his role in creating social well-being. Although Imam al-Shafi'i is better known as an Islamic jurisprudence, he had an intelligent idea about the development of community values in his time towards creating a prosperous life. Nowadays, there are various types of confusion among some people regarding the appreciation of social well-being, especially from a societal point of view because they are influenced by the current negative currents. This situation, if left unchecked, will have a negative impact on social well-being itself. The application of the development of community values presented by Imam al-Shafi'i plays an important role in shaping the character of the community in today's challenging era. Imam al-Shafi'i's idea of introducing the development of community values is a useful contribution to fill the intellectual superiority of the community with elements of high social values without being swept away by the current of such rapid progress. Implementation towards creating social well-being is in line with the country's aspirations that are sensitive to current changes to face the current era. Good community values need to be applied to give birth to a prosperous life. This study was written based on bibliography by researching and filtering information from primary and secondary sources. In order to further strengthen the study empirically, the author used an online questionnaire method against 112 respondents from various states in Malaysia. As a result of the responses of the respondents, they were analyzed using the SPSS technique to identify the extent to which the respondents were able to apply the development of community values based on the understanding and appreciation of religion in themselves. The screening results found that Imam al-Shafi'i contributed many ideas to the development of community values. Among his ideas is to provide information about interpersonal skills, personality, social skills, communication and so on. The findings of the study also found that the development of community values that are used can form a high level of social well-being. At the same time, it can contribute to social development holistically in creating a prosperous country in Malaysia.
