| Summary: | In general, Muslims all over the world have an innate tendency to hold fast to Islam’s teachings as narrated
in the Qur’an and Hadith. The present study is an investigation on the utilization of this adherence for
improving the standards of ethical behavior of Muslim IT professionals, particularly software engineers.
The principal point of this paper is to develop the importance of ethics among software engineers in order
to make them realize the impact of various immoral practices in their field e.g., property violations, general
software upgrading, design methodology, software privacy, etc. The moral values put forward in code-of-
conduct have been scrutinized from Islamic point of view by studying the same in light of verses in the
Qur’an and Hadith of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.). It is high time for software engineers
and developers to accept the dire need of a paradigm shift in software engineering that integrates divine
revelation with reason. The paper, therefore, has an Islamic but global approach towards software
engineering paradigms. |
