Abstract

This study aimed to map the development of research at the intersection of Islamic civilization, economics, and psychology through bibliometric analysis. This investigation is crucial for understanding how Islamic values shape economic thought and human behavior and how this intellectual legacy continues to influence modern economic research. Data were obtained from the Scopus database, encompassing scientific publications related to the themes of Islamic civilization and economics. The analysis was conducted using VOSviewer software to identify patterns of citation linkages, author collaborations, and the emergence of key keywords within the research network. The results show that limited articles that discussed (29 papers), in addition, recent research trends increasingly integrate Islamic principles with behavioral economics concepts, particularly in financial ethics, decision-making, and moral psychology. The main research clusters focus on Islamic finance, consumer behavior, and the reconstruction of classical Islamic thought in modern contexts. Temporal analysis also revealed a shift from historical-descriptive studies to empirical and interdisciplinary approaches. These findings significantly contribute to strengthening behavioral perspectives within Islamic economics and open new research directions on how the moral and psychological dimensions of Islamic civilization influence contemporary economic behavior.
