Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
This study conducted a bibliometric and thematic analysis on research related to Islamic social finance from 2000 to 2022. The research aimed to evaluate the current growth and publication trends in Islamic social finance studies, identify the most prolific contributors in the field, determine the most highly cited documents, and explore the research gaps and implications for future research perspectives in Islamic social finance. Data were collected from the Scopus database using keywords such “Islamic Social Finance” OR “Zakat” OR “Sadaqah” OR “Islamic Microfinance” OR “Waqf” and OR “Qard al-Hasan”. A total of 1316 documents were initially obtained, and after screening, 732 documents were included for analysis. The data were analyzed using tools like Biblioshiny and Microsoft Excel. The results showed that most publications were in 2022 (106 publications). The most significant author, affiliation and source were Saad, R.A.J. by the author (16 articles), International Islamic University Malaysia by affiliation (153 articles), and Journal of Islamic Accounting and Business Research by the source (38 publications). This study found the article entitled; ‘‘Waqf, perpetual charity and poverty alleviation” written by Sadeq, A.M. (2022) as the most global cited document with 100 citations. Moreover, based on the results of thematic map and evolution, Islamic social finance research was divided into three main themes: Holistic Islamic Socio-Economic Empowerment, Impactful Islamic Finance Optimization, and Islamic Socio-Economic Advancement. This study highlighted the need for further studies across diverse contexts, inclusion of impact measurement and evaluation, comparative studies and optimization in Islamic microfinance, governance, compliance, and trust in zakat institutions, economic growth and Islamic finance, influences of religiosity and the pandemic on Islamic finance, policy, regulatory frameworks, and best practices. By addressing these gaps, researchers can contribute to a more comprehensive understanding and effectiveness of Islamic social finance in addressing community well-being and poverty. © (2024), (Elite Scientific Publications).
