Islamic ethical values in information system design

Ethical considerations should be applied not only when faced with ethical situations when using information system, but even from the development stage of the system itself. In regards to this, Islamic ethical values are a feasible alternative to mainstream ethical theories to be used as a guideline for ethical analysis. An apt framework for ethical analysis of information system is socio-technical system. Socio-technical system facilitates identifying the various components of an information system and how ethical values can be embedded in these components.
