The vital purpose of Islam is to ensure and promote the well-being of all humanity and to prevent harm. From the Islamic perspective, well-being is explained through inside and outer fulfillment, driving towards a peaceful life, Hayat-e-Tayyaba. The objectives and vision of well-being are to satisfy the material and non-material needs. Additionally, well-being is an attempt to improve the quality of life to a level that is safe, healthy and comfortable from both the physical and psychological perspectives. These are parallel with the Maqasid al-Shari'ah principles outlined by scholars. From the perspective of asnaf, physical and mental well-being are vital as they are vulnerable to the socioeconomic pressures at present. Thus, the objective of this paper is to propose a conceptual framework of well-being and the role of self-efficacy. The framework explains the relationship between independent variables; physical activity, eating habits and self-efficacy on the well-being of asnaf; physical and mental well-being (dependent variables). The proposed framework has several significant implications for understanding, creating awareness and promoting the well-being of employed poor asnaf.
