Abstract

Research ethics is essential for responsible knowledge production in today's globalized academic environment. While largely shaped by secular Western traditions, Islamic scholarship provides a deep ethical framework grounded in the Qur'an, Hadith, and jurisprudence. Core principles include truthfulness (sidq), justice (adl), intention (niyyah), public good (maslahah), and accountability (amanah). This chapter examines how these values guide research in theory and practice, using case studies from Muslim-majority contexts and global scholarship. It calls for an inclusive model that integrates Islamic ethics with international standards without compromising science. Addressing biomedical research, social sciences, and emerging technologies, it offers practical guidance for researchers and institutions worldwide.
