Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric mapping and analysis of global research trends in Islamic Higher Education (IHE), drawing upon 1,400 Scopus-indexed publications from 1970 to 2024. Employing advanced bibliometric techniques such as co-authorship, co-citation, and co-word analyses using VOSviewer and Bibliometrix R-package, this research systematically explores publication dynamics, intellectual structures, and emerging thematic directions within the field. The findings reveal a sustained annual growth rate of 10.62%, with a sharp increase since the mid-2000s, indicating a global rise in scholarly interest in IHE as both a religious and socio-academic domain. Southeast Asia particularly Indonesia and Malaysia dominates research output, while international collaboration remains limited. Thematic network visualisations indicate two principal clusters: (1) educational and religious studies, centred on topics such as higher education, Islamic education, and religious moderation; and (2) health and human studies, emphasizing gender, adult learning, and empirical methodologies. The thematic evolution map positions “human,” “female,” and “adult” as motor themes, suggesting growing interdisciplinarity linking Islamic pedagogy with psychology, digital learning, and health education. Conversely, “Islamic higher education” and “Islamic education” appear as emerging or underdeveloped themes, reflecting both conceptual immaturity and potential for future expansion

Abstract

This study comprehensively examines the global dynamics of research on the integration of science and religion within the framework of Islamic education through a bibliometric and network visualization approach using data from Scopus and the Web of Science (WoS). Utilizing VOSviewer software, the study systematically maps the scientific landscape encompassing publication trends, intellectual structures, and thematic interconnections among key concepts that shape the discourse on Islam–science–education. The analysis reveals a significant increase in scholarly output over the past two decades, with a sharp surge after 2010 and a peak in publication activity between 2019 and 2021. Indonesia ranks as the leading contributor, followed by the United States, Iran, Turkey, and Malaysia, reflecting a geographical shift in the center of Islamic educational research toward Asia and the Middle East. The dominance of the social sciences (36.7%) and humanities (28.5%) indicates an epistemological transformation from a normative theological paradigm toward an interdisciplinary framework that integrates scientific rationality with spiritual values. Four major thematic clusters religion–Islam–education, human–article–humans, cultural anthropology–history, and higher education engineering education represent interconnected domains that converge toward strengthening the Tawhidic Epistemology and Integrative Knowledge Theory, emphasizing the holistic unity between knowledge, spirituality, and humanity. The principal novelty of this study lies in the conceptualization of the Humanized Islamic Knowledge System (HIKS), an epistemological synthesis uniting faith, reason, and scientific inquiry within an ethical and humanistic framework. This paradigm introduces two key constructs Techno-Ethical Islamic Education and Scientific-Spiritual Synthesis positioning Islamic education as the moral compass of the 21st century, guiding the advancement of science and technology toward an ethical, inclusive, and spiritually transformative civilization.
