Abstract: This study provides a bibliometric investigation of the relationship between Islamic finance and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), analyzing 457 research articles indexed in Web of Science and Scopus. Using the Bibliometrix package in R and the Biblioshiny interface, the study offers enhanced data visualization and interaction to map the intellectual structure of this field. We highlight a strong alignment between Islamic finance principles (Maqasid al-Shariah) and the SDGs, particularly emphasizing social finance instruments like Zakat and Waqf. In addition, we outline a focus on some SDGs, while others remain underexplored. This study identifies key themes and gaps in the literature and proposes a future research agenda for enhancing Islamic finance’s contribution to Sustainable Development Goals.
