Keywords:
Sharia Finance; Digital Economy; Sharia FinTech; Sharia Integrity; Bibliometric AnalysisAbstract
The development of the digital economy has driven significant transformation in the Islamic financial system, particularly through the use of financial technology (fintech), artificial intelligence, and other digital technologies. Although digitization offers great opportunities to improve efficiency, financial inclusion, and service quality, challenges related to integrity and compliance with Islamic principles remain crucial issues. This study aims to map and analyze global research trends on Islamic financial integrity in the context of the digital economy during the period 2020–2025. The method used is bibliometric analysis combined with a systematic literature review (SLR), with scientific publication data that obtained from reputable databases and analyzed using VOSviewer software. The results of the study show a significant increase in the number of publications related to digital Islamic finance, with the main thematic clusters covering Islamic fintech, Sharia compliance and governance, digital finance regulation, and the use of blockchain and artificial intelligence technologies. The visualization of keyword networks indicates a shift in research focus from conceptual approaches to technology-based and digital governance approaches. This study contributes by providing a systematic scientific map of the development of Islamic finance integrity research in the digital economy era and identifies opportunities and research agendas for the future for academics, regulators, and practitioners.
