Mapping the Intersection of Financial Literacy, Halal Awareness, and Islamic Finance: A Bibliometric Review from Web of Science

Abstract

This study aims to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of academic research on financial literacy, halal literacy, and Islamic finance using data extracted from the Web of Science (WoS) database. A total of 2,474 articles were analyzed through bibliometric methods utilizing the Biblioshiny R-package and VOSviewer software. The analysis explores publication trends, key authors, thematic clusters, and collaborative networks in these intersecting fields. Beyond its academic scope, this study addresses a real-world gap that affects the financial well-being of individuals striving to align their financial decisions with Islamic principles. For example, a tradesperson may wish to expand their business through halal financing but lacks sufficient knowledge of Islamic financial instruments. Similarly, a housewife may intend to invest for her family's future in a Shari’ah-compliant manner but is unsure where to begin. While this study does not evaluate audience engagement directly, bibliometric findings suggest that themes related to halal awareness and Islamic financial literacy are underrepresented in the current academic discourse. Furthermore, even in countries like Türkiye, where financial literacy stands at only 23,6% (FODER, 2023), the lack of accessible academic dissemination further limits the potential impact of scholarly work on public financial behavior. Therefore, this study not only contributes to the academic mapping of the field but also seeks to inform financial institutions, educators, and policy makers in designing more inclusive and targeted strategies. By revealing patterns, gaps, and emerging trends, the study aims to bridge the disconnect between academic research and practical financial needs in Muslim-majority societies.
