Abstract

An organization is to serve the community. Thus, an explanation of its duties and responsibilities towards the community is essential. Opening up a field called corporate social responsibility and explaining its different dimensions is an attempt to this end. This concept has developed in the West following transformations of philosophical and intellectual approach to organization and its environment. The concept which was actually derived from western thought and their societies' needs and has become an issue of debate among management thinkers has not much been considered by Islamic management scholars. This paper seeks to answer the fundamental question whether there is any such thing as corporate social responsibility in the Islamic doctrine. To answer this question, we have sought some intellectual proof as one of the epistemological sources of Islam. This paper, after explaining organization's origin, has considered rights and their accompanied responsibilities, with a concluding statement about organization's responsibilities, both affirmative and negative, towards the society.
