In Islamic teachings, infaq is a form of social worship that plays an important role in shaping the social integrity of the community. Infaq, which means spending part of one's wealth in the way of Allah, is not only an act of giving, but also reflects concern, empathy, and social responsibility towards others. The Qur'an emphasizes the importance of infaq as a means to strengthen social solidarity and reduce economic disparities in society. This study aims to examine the verses of the Qur'an and hadith related to the Role of Infaq in Building Social Integrity. The data collection technique was carried out using library research. The data analysis technique was carried out using a descriptive-analytical approach. The results of the study show that through the practice of infaq, social integrity values such as honesty, generosity, and strengthening relationships between members of society are formed. This creates a harmonious and balanced social order. The implementation of infaq in daily life can reduce social disparities and foster a sense of shared responsibility in building a just and prosperous society in accordance with Islamic principles
