| Summary: | There has been wide coverage on Islamic ethics and Western ethics in the literature. It appears that more needs to be done in terms of examining culture from the Islamic perspective. The question arises as to how to determine which elements of culture ought to be adopted and which do not?

The paper defines culture, the role of culture in Islam and how to distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable cultural elements from the Islamic perspective. |
