 Abstract

This study explores the alignment of accounting practices with Islamic values, emphasizing accountability as both a legal and spiritual obligation in Islam. Using bibliometric analysis, it examines the development of Islamic accounting research from 2005 to 2023 through Scopus-indexed journals. The analysis, conducted with R Biblioshiny and VOSviewer software, identified 119 relevant documents from an initial 562 records. The findings reveal significant growth in Islamic accounting research, with Malaysia, the United Kingdom, and Indonesia leading contributions in publications. The study highlights the increasing prominence of Islamic accounting, reflected in the expansion of empirical research, active authors, and citations. By providing a bibliometric representation of this field, the study offers valuable insights for future research directions and recruitment strategies, serving as a catalyst for further development in Islamic accounting.
