Abstract

Objective: This study maps the bibliometric landscape of the study of Islamic philosophy, law, and law for the period 2019–2024 with a focus on themes, influential figures, publication trends, and the interconnectedness of philosophy of law, ethics, and human rights in global discourse. Theoretical framework: This study uses bibliometric approaches and scientific communication theory to analyze patterns of publication, collaboration, and cross-disciplinary knowledge development. Literature review: Previous studies have shown interdisciplinary trends in Islamic philosophy, law, and economics, but not many have examined the connection between the three simultaneously. Methods: Data obtained from Scopus using a Boolean search. Of the 14,632 articles, 185 were selected for analysis with Microsoft Excel, R-Studio, and VOSViewer, covering publication trends, collaborations, institutional contributions, and keyword co-occurrence. Results: Publications peaked in 2021 and then declined. Major contributors are from the US, UK, and Indonesia. The analysis shows the close linkage between ethics, philosophy, and law with a multidisciplinary character, as well as identifying key academics and institutions. Implications: A study of the post-2021 productivity decline and increased international collaboration, especially from underrepresented regions, is needed. Novelty: This research is the first comprehensive mapping that integrates Islamic philosophy, law, and law (2019–2024), affirms multidisciplinary interconnectedness, and places Indonesia as an important actor in global academic discourse.

Abstract

Objective: This study investigates how gender shapes religious authority, leadership, and participation within Muslim communities, with a specific focus on implications for Islamic education and multicultural contexts. The purpose of this research is to systematically analyze how gendered norms influence access to authoritative religious roles and how these norms are being renegotiated across diverse socio-educational settings. Theoretical framework: Grounded in a theoretical framework combining Islamic feminist thought, sociology of religion, and multicultural education, the study conceptualizes religious authority as a socially constructed and interpretive field influenced by power, identity, and knowledge production. Literature review: The literature review highlights three major strands in existing scholarship: (1) gendered hierarchies in traditional religious institutions; (2) emerging forms of women’s authority through educational, digital, and community-based platforms; and (3) multicultural dynamics that reshape gender relations in minority Muslim contexts. Method: Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, the study follows PRISMA 2020 guidelines and employs qualitative meta-synthesis to integrate insights from peer-reviewed publications indexed in Scopus, Web of Science, and JSTOR. Studies were selected through transparent inclusion–exclusion criteria and evaluated using the CASP checklist. Thematic analysis was used to interpret patterns across the dataset. Results: The review finds that gender continues to significantly structure religious authority within Muslim communities, particularly through male-dominated leadership traditions and interpretive gatekeeping. However, the results also demonstrate increasing diversification of authority as women, youth, and minority groups gain influence through Islamic educational institutions, online platforms, and multicultural civic spaces. Reformist discourses influenced by Islamic feminism and inclusive pedagogies further contribute to reinterpreting religious texts and expanding gender-inclusive models of leadership. Implications: The study’s implications emphasize the need for Islamic education systems to integrate gender-sensitive pedagogies and support pluralistic interpretations aligned with multicultural realities. Novelty: Its novelty lies in offering the first comprehensive qualitative SLR that synthesizes gender, religious authority, Islamic education, and multiculturalism into a unified analytical lens, providing a broader understanding of shifting power dynamics in contemporary Muslim societies.
