<![CDATA[Purpose – The main purpose of this study was to examine the emerging field of entrepreneurship education and Islamic business from perspective on the existing studies. The study evaluated publication trends, research gaps, major themes and focused on how entrepreneurship education with Islamic values and principles influences entrepreneurial activities and socio-economic development. Design/methodology/approach – A PRISMA-driven screening process was used, and 19 final journal articles were identified by relying on Scopus-indexed articles published between 2019 and 2026. A bibliometric and a thematic review approach was applied. The bibliometric analysis supported examining the scientific publication trends and conducting analysis based on Bradford's and Lotka’s Law. MAXQDA software was used to perform thematic analysis, while the subcode-driven operational codebook supported identifying key themes based on article abstracts and key words. Findings/Results – The key findings indicate that the research on entrepreneurship education and Islamic business publication increased after 2023 and the literature is spread across diverse journals suggesting a multi-disciplinary approach to the study. However, the field of study of entrepreneurship education and Islamic business is still developing. Thematic analysis has identified seven themes, out of which three themes such as entrepreneurial intention for Islamic business, sustainable and green Islamic entrepreneurship, and women in Islamic entrepreneurship can be considered emerging themes. Originality/Value – The study contributes by proposing a conceptual framework associated with entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention via Islamic entrepreneurial competences. This framework can be tested in the future based on both a quantitative and qualitative research approach. This would lead to positive impact on socio-economic and sustainable development.]]>
