The study aimed to provide additional insights on how supply chain management practices are used to promote sustainable development in line with Maqasid Al-Shariah principles of Islam. A multiple case study approach involving two major automotive firms in Malaysia was used to address key research issues. The results show that these SCM practices, viz. resources, information, integration, and relationship practices support the promotion of Maslahah for all human beings which is consistent with the aims of Maqasid Al-Shariah principles for sustainable development. The findings provide some guidance to facilitate the achievement of SDGs especially among Muslim countries through their SCM practices. Studies which examined SCM practices for sustainable development from an Islamic perspective are limited. Therefore, the present study aims to provide additional insights on how SCM practices are used to promote sustainable development in line with Maqasid Al-Shariah principles. Some SCM practices are congruent with Maqasid al-Shariah particularly when the practices are examined through the Islamic lens that focuses the goal of creating value to mankind.
