Crisis Management in Islamic Perspectives: A Bibliometric Analysis of Scholarly Trends

This bibliometric analysis examines the scholarly trends in Crisis Management from an Islamic perspective over the past two decades. Utilizing the Scopus database, the study identifies 295 relevant publications, which were then analyzed based on geographic distribution, institutional contributions, key authors, and prominent research themes. The findings highlight the dominance of Malaysia in research output, with significant contributions also coming from Tunisia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) emerges as a leading institution in this field. Key authors such as Hassan M. Kabir and Salina Hj Kassim have made substantial contributions, particularly in linking Islamic financial principles to crisis management. The analysis reveals that Islamic banks, financial crises, and the impact of COVID-19 are the most frequently studied themes, underscoring the importance of Islamic financial institutions in crisis scenarios. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the field and highlights areas for future research, particularly the need for a broader exploration of non-financial crises and interdisciplinary approaches. The findings suggest that Islamic principles offer valuable frameworks for crisis management that are relevant both in Muslim-majority and non-Muslim-majority contexts.
