| Summary: | The phenomena nowadays, numbers of metaphor worlds and their participants that growing rapidly,
primarily is a Western Culture dominated environment. Attention paid to other cultures is still very
little. There is an assumption that if metaphor worlds are to become a truly global platform for users
then it will be essential to "encode" the flexibility for social interactions to take place in a way that is
sensitive to other cultures and most important matters that could give values to the target users. It is
understood by muslims that Allah has used metaphor to send His messages to mankind through Al
Quran. Inspired from it, the key concern is to shift the focus of development from standard interface
design to Islamic interface design. A framework has been developed adapted from Culture Centered
Design. Important factors have been added to the framework especially on Islamic values as a way of
life and a journey towards Allah. Further more, an interface prototype known as Muslim Centered
User Interface Design (MCUID) prototype is created. This paper focused on the empirical
investigation through interface recognition test using closed card sorting technique towards the
prototype. The analysis tabulated the patterns of Muslim users’ perceptions using Atlas.ti 7 both in
qualitative and quantitative measurements.
