A Decade of Maqasid Shariah Research A Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

This study analysed the frontier of Maqasid Shariah (MS) research repertoire by identifying essential features to direct future research in the sector. This research used bibliometric and citation analysis. Scopus is used as a bibliometric data source for many research reviews, scientific policy evaluations, research landscape studies, and university rankings because of its reliability. Scopus yielded 126 data points linked to the article title Maqasid Shariah. Numerous programmes were used, including Microsoft Excel to perform the frequency study, VOS viewer to visualise the data, and Harzing's Publish or Perish to calculate and analyse citation metrics. The results suggest that Maqasid Shariah is a cross-disciplinary research area where past literature concentrated mainly on business-related and environmental science domains. The growing number of publications on Maqasid Shariah demonstrates that the critical nature of technology has affected the financial services sector, and there are undoubtedly some ramifications for the economy. Performance and products of Islamic finance are the most areas of concern regarding Maqasid Shariah. The data sources selected were from the Scopus database only. This study is the first bibliometric examination of Maqasid Shariah utilising a 16-year-old publication database with a review paper.

The Performance of Islamic Organizations Based on Maqasid Sharia Disclosure

“…Al-Ghazali's Maqasid Sharia theory is widely used by many contemporer and past muslim. It is also well-established theory through many decades (Tubarad et al, 2022) (Auda, 2008). This theory is very significant and accepted by contemporary Muslim scholars and is still relevant in the contemporary era (Bharu & Kelantan, 2021;Hudaefi & Noordin, 2019;Mohammed et al, 2015;Monawer et al, 2022).…”

“…Fulfilling the maqasid of Sharia must form the underlying principles of innovation because it protects decisions based on fiqh (Sulayman et al, 2022). The objectives of Sharia and agreement (uqud) must not conflict with each other, because the former is based on God's Law while the latter is based on human understanding (fiqh) (Hudaefi & Noordin, 2019;Sulayman et al, 2022;Tubarad et al, 2022).…”

“…There are various understandings about maqasid Sharia among Muslim scholars, because this understanding refers more to the understanding of each scholar or fiqh even though all of its origins are based on God's rules (Quran and hadith). According to Imam Al-Ghazali, the primary objective of Maqasid sharia is to secure human prosperity in this life and the next, encompassing five objectives: safeguarding property, religion, the soul, the mind, and offspring (Hudaefi & Noordin, 2019;Monawer et al, 2022;Sulayman et al, 2022;Tubarad et al, 2022). According to Ibn Ashur, the Maqasid of Islamic law is to uphold human nature, equality, freedom, convenience, and order (Auda, 2008).…”

Abu Zahrah divides maqasid Sharia into three main categories, namely educating individuals, creating justice, and public interest (Bharu & Kelantan, 2021;Mohammed, 2007;Mohammed et al, 2015;Rahman et al, 2017;Tubarad et al, 2022).…”

“…The research about Maqasid Sharia based performance measurement are focused on Sharia banking and Islamic financial institutions (Azmi et al, 2021;Nizam & Larbani, 2014;Rahman et al, 2017). Previous research attention regarding Maqashid Syariah in fields other than Sharia banking and Islamic financial institutions has not been explored much (Tubarad et al, 2022). Based on this description, this research aims to build a Maqasid sharia performance measurement that can be used generally in organizations that operate in Sharia compliance other than Sharia banking or Islamic financial institutions.…”
