Abstract

This study aims to analyze the trends, patterns, and thematic evolution of mental health research within Islamic or Muslim contexts, identifying key contributors, journals, institutions, and global collaborations to address existing knowledge gaps. Grounded in theories of cultural psychology and religious coping, particularly those advanced by Pargament (2001) and Koenig (2001), the study highlights the interplay between religion, spirituality, and mental health outcomes. A quantitative bibliometric analysis was conducted using data collected through a Boolean search on the Scopus database for the period 1976–2024. After filtering, the search produced 111 relevant documents, which were analyzed using R/R-Studio, VOSViewer, and Microsoft Excel to visualize document trends, keyword co-occurrence networks, and collaboration patterns. The findings reveal a steady annual growth rate of 9.75%, with significant contributions from journals such as “Mental Health, Religion and Culture” and “Journal of Muslim Mental Health.” The United States leads in research productivity while emerging nations like Malaysia and Iran show growing contributions. Key research themes include spirituality, psychological stress, stigma, mental disorders, and mental health challenges among vulnerable populations such as refugees. The study provides a roadmap for future research, emphasizing the importance of culturally sensitive and interdisciplinary approaches. This bibliometric analysis offers unique insights into the role of religion and culture in mental health research, addressing a significant gap in the literature and contributing to global scholarly efforts in this field.

Abstract

This study explores the crisis of trust in political institutions, focusing on political parties, governments, and media. The objective is to identify the causes, impacts, and potential solutions to this growing mistrust. The research utilizes a qualitative approach, reviewing existing literature and analyzing case studies from various countries facing political instability and declining public trust. Results indicate that corruption, lack of transparency, misinformation, and limited public participation are primary causes of mistrust. These issues contribute to political instability, decreased voter participation, and increased social division. The discussion highlights the importance of transparency, accurate information, and public involvement in restoring trust. Implications suggest that strengthening political institutions and ensuring accountability are essential for rebuilding public confidence. Recommendations include promoting political education, enhancing media responsibility, increasing public engagement in political processes, and ensuring greater government transparency. The findings emphasize the need for a collaborative effort between the government, media, and the public to address the crisis of trust. This study advocates for the adoption of long-term strategies to restore legitimacy in political institutions, which is critical for maintaining democratic stability and fostering public participation in governance.

Abstract

The digital age has significantly transformed religious practices, presenting both opportunities and challenges for individuals and communities. This study examines the impact of technology on religiosity, focusing on the shift from traditional religious practices to digital formats. Using secondary data, the research explores how digital tools like online platforms and virtual communities have reshaped religious engagement and community building. Despite the benefits of accessibility, such as the convenience of attending services remotely and accessing religious resources online, challenges also emerge. These include misinformation, distractions, and the potential erosion of personal spiritual experiences, which can undermine the authenticity of religious practices. The findings suggest that while technology offers greater accessibility to religious resources, religious organizations and leaders must balance virtual engagement with maintaining the integrity of traditional spiritual practices. The study concludes with recommendations for integrating faith into the digital landscape while preserving the core values of spirituality. This includes promoting responsible use of technology, fostering virtual spaces that encourage meaningful engagement, and ensuring that digital tools serve as enhancements, not replacements, for authentic spiritual experiences.

Abstract

Objective: This research explores the significance of Islamic family ethics as a foundational element in promoting social harmony in the modern era. The primary objective is to analyze how Islamic teachings address family-related challenges and foster moral values that strengthen societal cohesion. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework combines Islamic ethical teachings with sociological theories concerning family systems and social stability. Literature review: The literature review encompasses scholarly works in Islamic studies, sociology, and contemporary research on family dynamics, highlighting the relevance and timelessness of Islamic values in addressing emerging social issues. Methods: Utilizing a descriptive-analytical methodology, the study analyzes primary Islamic texts, academic research, institutional reports, and credible digital sources. Through thematic text analysis, the research identifies patterns and principles that illustrate how Islamic ethics provide practical solutions to modern familial challenges, such as individualism, generational disconnection, and moral decline. Results: The findings reveal that Islamic family ethics significantly contribute to social harmony by encouraging respect, mutual support, responsible parenting, and community awareness. These values create a stable family environment, which serves as the bedrock for a cohesive society. The research further demonstrates that integrating Islamic ethical teachings into family and community programs can help counteract the erosion of social bonds in an increasingly fragmented world. Implications: The study’s implications extend to policymakers, educators, and religious leaders who seek to reinforce ethical and familial foundations in society. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in its contextual linkage of traditional Islamic values with contemporary societal issues, offering a faith-based, yet universally applicable, framework for strengthening family structures and enhancing social harmony in a globalized era.

Abstract

Objective: This research aims to explore emerging trends and key themes in the Islamic Educational Leadership literature, with a focus on their relationship to human development and sustainability. The study also seeks to identify influential topics and emerging keywords, thereby filling the gap in data-driven integrated analysis in these areas. Theoretical framework: Combines Islamic Educational Leadership Theory, Organizational Change Theory, and Sustainable Development principles, with the support of transformational, distributed leadership theory, and Human Capital Theory to link educational practices, individual development, and socio-economic-environmental well-being. Literature review: Transformational and distributed leadership play a role in curriculum innovation, HR quality improvement, and sustainable practices. Comprehensive bibliometric studies that map keywords, authors, and clusters are still rarely conducted. Method: This study uses a quantitative approach through bibliometric analysis and network analysis of 596 academic documents obtained from the Scopus database (period 2020–2025). Bibliometric analysis is used to evaluate publication patterns, citation rates, and influential authors, while network analysis maps the relationships between keywords, author collaboration, and the formation of research clusters. Results: The results of the analysis show the existence of a collaborative and cross-disciplinary research environment, with three main thematic clusters: (1) curriculum design and innovation, (2) leadership and human development, and (3) sustainability in higher education. In addition, new keywords were found that represented emerging research trends. Implications: Provide strategic guidance for practitioners and policymakers in professional development, the application of sustainable practices, and future research directions. Novelty: A recent analysis (2020–2025) that integrates education leadership, human development, and sustainability uncovers new trends and linkages that have not been documented.
