Abstract:
This article presents a bibliometric analysis of selected literature on Takaful insurance, covering the period from 1983 to 2023. Takaful is an insurance system based on Islamic finance principles, which has recently garnered growing academic interest due to its crucial role in meeting insurance needs in various international contexts. The study is based on rigorously selected English-language articles from the Scopus database, following the PRISMA method, with a final sample of 298 research documents. The primary objective is to quantitatively describe the structure of this literature and to understand future research directions in this field. We also identify the leading academic institutions, countries, journals, as well as authors, coauthor networks, and their positions within these streams. The results show that Malaysia is the most active country in terms of publications, with the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) leading among the most involved institutions. The analysis also reveals a significant increase in interest in Takaful insurance in recent years, particularly between 2017 and 2023, with a peak in publications in 2023. Research on Takaful has also undergone thematic evolution, shifting from topics of corporate governance and Sharia compliance before 2019 to more contemporary themes related to risk management, family Takaful, and purchase intention after 2019, influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. The study concludes by suggesting that future research should focus on the role of Takaful in mitigating economic and financial shocks, as well as on the integration of technological innovations like FinTech into this field.
