Financial System Stability in Islamic Economic Perspective: A Bibliometric Review (2017-2021)

Abstract

Abstract: The aim of this research is to synthesize trends, dominant themes, and research gaps in the study of financial stability from the perspective of Islamic economics during the period of 2017–2021. Employing a library research approach with an integrative literature review design, this study examines literature from four leading databases: Google Scholar, Scispace, DOAJ, and Scopus. Selection is made based on rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria, and data analysis is conducted using thematic and bibliometric approaches. The findings indicate that research focus has shifted from measuring performance towards innovation in risk management and responses to global crises. The main themes that emerged include risk management, liquidity management, the role of regulation, and innovations in Islamic financial products. The research also highlights the importance of synergy between Sharia principles, regulatory authorities, and institutional governance in maintaining stability. This study provides a scientific mapping that is useful for academics and policymakers and recommends further exploration related to the role of Islamic fintech and cross-country comparative studies in the context of the resilience of Islamic financial systems
