Corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Islam encompasses a broad dimensions that include the concept of Taqwa (God consciousness), by which a corporation as a group of individuals assumes the roles and responsibilities as servants of Allah in all situations (Dusuki, 2008). With taqwa, a person that collectively forms an organisation put effort to achieve the objectives of Shariah and it will guarantee that the people are voluntarily committed to grab the central goals of human welfare. Taqwa model or paradigm is comprehensive and provides values in creating social life. It will also determine the nature of a person’s relationship with God, natural environment and other human beings
