 Abstract

Islamic social finance (ISF) has recently received much attention for its potential to address social problems such as poverty, hunger, and unequal wealth distribution. This study aims to map ISF research through a bibliometric analysis of 502 publications in the Scopus database from 1979 to 2022. Using state-of-the-art tools such as VOSviewer and R Studio, we uncover publication trends, co-authorship networks, and bibliographic integration in the field. Our results show a promising annual growth rate of 9.26% in ISF publications, with Malaysia and Hasan M. K. leading and Malaysia International Islamic University as the affiliate with the highest publication contribution. This study provides valuable recommendations for future research to enhance our understanding of ISF and unlock its potential social impact. However, we must first acknowledge the limitations of using Scopus data exclusively. Through this study, we hope to inspire further exploration of the power of ISF to create positive change in our world.
