This study aims to provide an in-depth bibliometric analysis of research trends, key contributors, and thematic focuses in the field of Islamic jurisprudence and compensation over the last 20 years. Methods: Using the PRISMA framework, we conducted a comprehensive search of the Scopus database for publications related to Islamic jurisprudence from 2003 to 2023. Data extraction and analysis were performed using VOSviewer software to map co-authorship networks, keyword co-occurrence, and citation patterns. Results: The analysis identified 503 relevant publications, with a fluctuating trend in publication numbers over the years. Malaysia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates were among the leading contributors. Key institutions included International Islamic University Malaysia and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Prominent authors such as Arames Kiarash and Andrew C. Miller made substantial contributions. Keyword analysis revealed central themes in Islamic jurisprudence, ethics, finance, and contemporary legal issues. Discussion: The findings highlight a dynamic and evolving field with significant global contributions. The keyword co-occurrence network underscored the multidisciplinary nature of research in Islamic jurisprudence, addressing modern societal challenges and regional studies. The diversity in geographical and institutional contributions reflects a broad and collaborative research environment. Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the research landscape in Islamic jurisprudence and compensation. The study underscores the importance of ongoing research in this field and highlights key areas for future exploration and collaboration. Understanding these trends is crucial for guiding research agendas and policy formulations in Islamic legal studies.
