Abstract: This study employs a bibliometric approach to analyze the evolution of Islamic finance research from 1990 to 2024. Drawing on data from Scopus database the analysis examines publication trends, authorship patterns, keyword usage, and citation analysis. Findings reveal a significant growth in research output with an 18% annual growth rate, driven by increasing international collaboration. The analysis identifies key research themes, including Islamic banking, Sukuk, Takaful, and social finance, and highlights the emergence of new areas of focus like blockchain and sustainability. Further analysis using author keyword networks and thematic mapping reveals the dynamic evolution of research interests, with a shift towards exploring the social and ethical dimensions of Islamic finance. These insights provide valuable guidance for researchers, policymakers, and industry practitioners in understanding the evolving landscape of Islamic finance research and shaping future research directions.
