Abstract

Social development is essential to sustain a balanced, just, and prosperous society. It needs input from the society to sustain social development. The public and private sectors are not adequate to sustain social development. The social costs left by the private sectors are unbearable in terms of pollution, social injustice, and unemployment. There is a need for the social sectors to fill in the huge gap left by the public and commercial sectors. In sustaining social development, there is a need to build individuals with taqwa (piety). Individuals with taqwa enable them to be good citizens and contributors to social development on a perpetual and sustainable basis. This study postulates that taqwa (piety) has a sustainable effect on Islamic philanthropy for social development. This study conducts personal interviews with community leaders to explore their views on the effect of taqwa (piety) on Islamic philanthropy for social development. The use of qualitative personal interview is not to generalize the results of the study but to provide deep understanding about the context. The grounded results of the context provide a contingency view on organizational behavioural studies, practices, and public policy for social development. The respondents argued that the effect of taqwa (piety) can be explained by social status, industrial exposure, and economics. The respondents suggested for tarbiyyah (education) and biah solehah (good environment) to nurture taqwa (piety).
