Deception in the Islamic websites is viewed as manipulation of the truth either by hiding truthful information or showing false information on the Islamic Website. In response to this, this study evaluates cues to deception in the Islamic Websites text and design from the point of view of the experts. This study uses interviews with the experts to gain insights from the cues to deception in text and design. Prior sto conducting the interviews, the interview instruments were developed based on the findings of the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) that was conducted and published earlier. To this end, there were six experts involving three from the Islamic background, and the other three from the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) background to evaluate the cues derived from the SLR. This paper presented nine heuristics (themes) generated from the transcript data, four heuristics were from textual content and five heuristics from the design. Each of these heuristics were divided into sub-categories comprising the cues to deception. The finding shows that there were many cues to deception on the website that claimed to be Islamic, and the most deceiving content found on the Internet were from the websites that discusses Prophet Muhammad PBUH biography
