The design field has grown significantly in recent years, and its impact on society has been increasingly significant. Designers must be mindful of the values guiding their work as they significantly affect their products and experiences. Designers play a crucial role in determining what to design and manufacture, as their role is strongly related to the ethical consideration way of thinking. This paper explores the best Islamic values that can cultivate excellent designers and enhance their ability to create meaningful and impactful designs. Through a comprehensive review of relevant literature and thematic analysis, this paper demonstrates how Islamic value can be integrated into the designing processes to create a more ethical and sustainable. This paper explores the relationship between Asma'ul Husna and design thinking, highlighting how designers can use these attributes to strengthen the designers' ethical abstraction ability, thereby cultivating excellent designers. Through the incorporation of the values contained within Asma'ul Husna, the designers can come out with designs that meet users' expectations, creative and innovative while at the same time contributing to society in a greater context. In conclusion, this review justifies the importance of integrating Asma'ul Husna into designing processes.
