Regulating the Engineering Profession

Code of Ethics

Whereas Allah enjoineth upon His men faithfully observe their trusts and their convenience; that the practice and profession of engineering is a sacred trust entrusted to those whom Nature is its magnificent bounty has endowed with this skill and knowledge; that every member of the profession shall appreciate and shall hassve knowledge as to what constitutes this trust and covenant and;that a set of dynamic principles derived from the Holy Quran shall guide his conduct in applying his knowledge for the benefit of society.

Now, therefore, the following Code of Ethics is promulgated. It shall be incumbent upon the members of the Pakistan Engineering Council to subscribe to it individually and collectively to uphold the honour and dignity of the engineering profession:

“Allah commands you to render back your trust to those to whom they are, and that when you judge between people, you judge with justice. Allah admonishes you with what is excellent.”

“Give full measure and weight justly and defraud not men of their things, and act not corruptly in the land, making mischief.”

“And let not hatred of a people incite you not to act equitably, Be just; that is nearer to observance of duty.”

“Fulfill the obligations”

“And swallow not up your property among yourselves by false means, nor seek to gain access thereby to the judges, so that you may swallow up a part of the property of men wrongfully while you know.”

“And speak straight words.”
“Avoid most of suspicion for surely suspicion in some cases is sin; and spy not nor let some of you backbite others.”
“And follow not that of which thou hast no knowledge. Surely the hearing and sight and heart, of all these it will be asked.”
“And help one another in righteousness and piety, and help not one another in sin and aggression, and keep your duty to God.”
“And whose affairs are decided by counsel among themselves.”
