Islam is a code of life that provides a complete guidance in every aspect of human life. A human being needs different ways of livelihood for his survival in society. So he adopts different kinds of professions. There are some ethics and moral values in every profession. But in current times one can easily observe the lacking of professional and ethical values in every field. How people in same profession should behave with each other? What kind of professional ethics should be observed and demonstrated at work place? In current paper we will find answers of these questions through qualitative research method. This paper also deals with work place ethics in the light of Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) life and teachings. Because Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Himself used to take professional approach in His affairs. In the light of the Prophet's teachings, professional ethics include principles such as truthfulness, honesty, hard work, justice, respect, and service to others. One should seek guidance from Prophet’s (PBUH) life in order to perform his duties and make himself better at his work place. Islamic teachings on workplace ethics offer practical guidance for today's professionals. These simple but powerful teachings from the Prophet’s (PBUH) life remain useful guides for workplace behavior today. When coworkers follow these basic principles of kindness, honesty, and fairness, they not only do better in their careers but also help create a better society.
