Abstract

The accelerating deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) across public and private life has outpaced the moral vocabularies available to evaluate it. Prevailing AI-ethics frameworks, articulated largely within Western traditions, converge on principles such as fairness, transparency, and accountability, yet remain thin on the spiritual and communal dimensions of moral judgement in Muslim societies. This study asks how maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, the higher objectives of Islamic law, may be operationalised as an evaluative instrument for AI governance rather than a declarative ideal. Employing qualitative library research, the study analyses primary Islamic sources alongside peer-reviewed scholarship from 2021 to 2026 through content analysis and philosophical-normative reasoning. The analysis maps four recurring problems (the erosion of privacy, algorithmic bias, opacity and diffuse accountability, and the attrition of human moral agency) and evaluates each against the five essential objectives (al-ḍarūriyyāt al-khams). The resulting framework translates every objective into governance criteria and correlates them with globally recognised AI principles, yielding an eleven-criterion instrument together with an ordering rationale for cases of value conflict. The study contributes an operational, value-based model that complements rather than displaces existing regulatory approaches, offering developers, regulators, and Shariah boards a design vocabulary for anticipating harm before deployment.

Abstract

Islamic higher education has become an increasingly important research area due to its role in integrating religious values, academic development, technological advancement, and social transformation. This study aims to explore the global research development, intellectual structure, collaboration patterns, and emerging themes in Islamic higher education through a bibliometric analysis approach. Data were retrieved from the Scopus database using relevant keywords related to Islamic higher education, and the collected publications were analyzed using bibliometric techniques with VOSviewer. The analysis covers publication trends, influential authors, institutional and country collaborations, citation performance, keyword co-occurrence, and thematic evolution. The findings reveal that research on Islamic higher education has expanded significantly, with Indonesia emerging as the most productive and influential contributor, followed by Malaysia and other countries with active scholarly engagement. Citation analysis indicates that major contributions focus on educational technology, Islamic educational philosophy, leadership, curriculum development, and the relationship between Islamic traditions and modern educational practices. Keyword analysis demonstrates a transition from conventional themes related to Islamic studies and religious education toward contemporary issues such as artificial intelligence, digital learning systems, religious moderation, and educational innovation. This study highlights that Islamic higher education has evolved into a multidisciplinary research field that connects religious knowledge with broader educational, technological, and societal challenges. The findings provide valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and educational institutions in identifying future research directions and strengthening the global development of Islamic higher education.

Abstract

Women leadership in Islam has become an increasingly discussed research topic due to growing academic interest in gender roles, religious interpretation, empowerment, and women's participation in social and institutional contexts. However, existing studies remain fragmented across various disciplines, making it necessary to understand the overall intellectual structure and development of this research field. This study aims to examine the global research landscape of women leadership in Islam through a bibliometric analysis approach. Data were collected from the Scopus database using relevant keywords related to women leadership and Islamic perspectives. The collected publications were analyzed using bibliometric techniques, including publication trend analysis, citation analysis, co-authorship analysis, institutional and country collaboration analysis, keyword co-occurrence analysis, overlay visualization, and density visualization through VOSviewer. The findings indicate that research on women leadership in Islam has developed through interdisciplinary contributions involving Islamic studies, gender studies, leadership, sociology, and social development. Influential literature highlights themes related to Islamic authority, gender equality, women's empowerment, and leadership experiences within Muslim societies. The collaboration analysis demonstrates strong international research networks involving institutions and countries from different regions, reflecting the global nature of this academic discourse. Furthermore, keyword analysis reveals that Islam, women, and leadership represent the dominant research themes, while emerging discussions increasingly focus on feminism, patriarchy, gender equality, and Muslim women's participation. This study contributes by mapping the intellectual evolution of women leadership research in Islamic contexts and identifying future research directions related to inclusive leadership models, gender equity, and the role of Islamic values in shaping contemporary women's leadership practice.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has transformed the practice of Islamic preaching (da'wah), shifting from conventional communication methods toward digital platforms that enable broader and more interactive religious engagement. This study aims to explore the intellectual structure, publication trends, influential contributions, collaboration patterns, and emerging research themes in the field of Digital Da'wah using a bibliometric analysis approach. Data were retrieved from the Scopus database using relevant keywords related to digital da'wah, online preaching, Islamic communication, and digital religion. The collected publications were analyzed using VOSviewer to visualize co-authorship networks, country collaborations, citation patterns, keyword co-occurrence, thematic evolution, and research density. The findings indicate that Digital Da'wah research has grown significantly, with Indonesia emerging as the most prominent contributor and the primary collaboration center. The literature analysis shows that early research focused mainly on social media utilization, Islamic communication, and online religious dissemination. However, recent studies have expanded toward broader issues, including digital religious authority, mediatization, digital platforms, artificial intelligence ethics, content automation, and ethical technology. The keyword analysis reveals a transition from platform-oriented studies toward interdisciplinary discussions involving communication studies, Islamic studies, and technological innovation. This study concludes that Digital Da'wah has developed into a multidimensional research field reflecting the transformation of religious practices in the digital era. Future research should further investigate ethical frameworks for AI-assisted da'wah, digital religious literacy, algorithmic influence on Islamic content distribution, and sustainable digital religious communities.

Abstract

Islamic parenting has become an increasingly important research topic due to its role in shaping children's moral development, religious identity, family relationships, and educational practices. However, the intellectual structure, development trends, and emerging themes within Islamic parenting research remain fragmented across various academic disciplines. This study aims to provide a comprehensive mapping of Islamic parenting research through a bibliometric analysis approach. Data were collected from the Scopus database using relevant keywords related to Islamic parenting, Muslim parenting, Islamic education, and family studies. The collected publications were analyzed using VOSviewer to examine publication trends, influential literature, author collaboration networks, country collaborations, citation patterns, and keyword co-occurrence structures. The findings reveal that Islamic parenting research has developed from early discussions focusing on cultural perspectives, religious values, and parent-child relationships toward broader contemporary issues involving Islamic education, digital parenting, family resilience, and child development challenges. Citation analysis identifies several influential studies that provide theoretical foundations for understanding the relationship between cultural context, Islamic values, and parenting practices. The collaboration analysis highlights Indonesia as the most prominent contributor, with growing international connections involving Malaysia, the United Kingdom, China, Austria, and Sudan. Keyword analysis demonstrates that the field is primarily centered around parenting, Islam, parents, child-parent relationships, and Islamic education, while emerging themes indicate increasing scholarly attention toward technology, family adaptation, and children's social well-being. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the evolution and future directions of Islamic parenting research by identifying knowledge patterns, research gaps, and potential opportunities for interdisciplinary development.

This study aims to examine the evolution of Islamic Psychology research through a bibliometric analysis approach. Data were retrieved from the Scopus database using relevant keywords related to Islamic Psychology, Muslim psychology, Islamic psychotherapy, and Islamic mental health. The collected publications were analyzed using bibliometric techniques, including publication trend analysis, citation analysis, co-authorship analysis, country collaboration analysis, keyword co-occurrence analysis, and density visualization through VOSviewer. The findings indicate that Islamic Psychology research has experienced continuous development, supported by contributions from various countries and international scholarly networks. The intellectual structure of the field demonstrates strong connections between Islamic concepts, psychological theories, spirituality, cultural factors, and mental health studies. The keyword analysis reveals a transformation from theoretical discussions on religion, Islamic perspectives, and cultural identity toward more empirical investigations involving depression, mental health, psychological assessment, and evidence-based interventions. This study highlights that Islamic Psychology has developed into a globally recognized interdisciplinary research field that bridges Islamic intellectual traditions with contemporary psychological approaches. The findings provide valuable insights for future scholars to further investigate Islamic psychotherapy, spiritual well-being, culturally sensitive psychological interventions, and new theoretical frameworks integrating Islamic perspectives with modern psychology.
