VSD argues that a focus on values needs to be done even before the design stage of the system development. It recommends that direct and indirect stakeholders be identified, the values important to them recognized and reference is made to works in philosophy and ethics in order to define how the values should be managed. This study extracted the definition of values from Islamic traditions of Qur’an and Sunnah and combined it with design suggestions by system design literatures to design and develop a prototype that managed to address the ethical concerns of the stakeholders.
