| Summary: | The purpose of this paper is to explore the current state of the published literature related to takaful research. This paper conducts a bibliometric analysis of 328 documents from 1989 to May 2025, using data extracted from the Scopus database. The analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel, BiblioMagika, OpenRefine, and VOSviewer. The findings reveal that the highest number of publications was recorded in 2024 (40 publications) and a peak in citations in 2020 (427 citations). The Journal of Islamic Accounting and Business Research emerged as the most prolific source title. The most cited article, titled “A bibliometric review of takaful
literature” by Khan et al. (2020), has received 121 citations. Puspa Liza Ghazali and Syed Ahmed Salman are recognised as the most productive authors, and the International Islamic University Malaysia is the most productive contributor. Keyword co-occurrence analysis
reveals five thematic areas in takaful research, which are “factors influencing family takaful intention”, “performance, risk, and governance in conventional and shariah-compliant insurance”, “insurance and takaful industry landscape”, “principles and models of Islamic
insurance”, and “Islamic finance”. Therefore, this analysis offers valuable insights for academics and policymakers, helping to shape future directions and deepen understanding
in the takaful field. |
