<![CDATA[This paper conducts a systematic literature review (SLR) in an effort to understand the connection that exists between Islamic finance and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A total of 85 publications were searched in Scopus database (2021-2025) with the aid of PRISMA and synthesized according to the themes with references to Maqasid al-Shariah and UN SDGs. According to the findings, Islamic finance helps in enhancing a sustainable economic growth in a number of instruments that include zakat, waqf, sukuk, Islamic fintech, and green finance programs. The most important themes identified are human development, financial inclusion, ESG integration, green projects, policy reforms, and crisis resilience. The review finds that while the conceptual alignment between Islamic finance and sustainability is strong, empirical tools for measuring these outcomes remain underdeveloped. The review substantiates a close correspondence between the principles of Islamic finance and sustainability goals, and it highlights the possible role of Shariah compliant systems to respond to poverty reduction, environmental care and ethical management. Nonetheless, there are some weaknesses such as overdependence on a single database, dependency on keywords and bias in time. Further studies are needed in terms of multidisciplinary methods, policy impact, and the development of impact measurement instruments to strengthen the strategic role of Islamic finance in SDGs accomplishment, especially in the emergent spheres of green sukuk, circular economy, and digital inclusion.]]>
