Purpose: This study, titled "Bibliometric Analysis of the Socialization of Islamic Inheritance Law in the Scopus Database and Its Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)," aims to map the development and direction of research on Islamic inheritance law from 2019 to 2024. It seeks to highlight the role of this field in addressing key SDG objectives, such as gender equality (SDG 5) and justice (SDG 16). Theoretical Framework: The theoretical framework focuses on the increasing relevance of Islamic inheritance law in global academic discussions, particularly in the Asian region, with Indonesia as a significant contributor. The study acknowledges its limitations, as it exclusively analyzes Scopus-indexed publications and does not incorporate other national or international databases. Methods: The research employs a bibliometric approach to analyze 109 publications related to Islamic inheritance law. Data analysis was conducted using R/R-Studio and Excel, while VOSviewer was utilized to visualize document citations and keyword networks. This methodological combination provides a robust framework for understanding publication trends and research dynamics. Results and Conclusion: The findings reveal a 26% annual growth rate in publications, with the highest output in 2023. Indonesia is the leading contributor, supported by affiliations such as Ar-Raniry State Islamic University and Imam Bonjol State Islamic University. Elfia emerges as the most prolific author. These results underscore the increasing global attention to Islamic inheritance law and its alignment with the SDGs, particularly in promoting equitable access to resources and fostering institutional integrity. Research implications: The implications of this study include providing a foundational reference for scholars interested in this field, identifying research gaps, and encouraging the exploration of diverse international data sources. This focus on expanding the scope of analysis aims to enhance the global relevance and inclusivity of future research. Originality/value: The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive bibliometric approach, mapping global trends, institutional contributions, and author productivity in Islamic inheritance law research over the past five years. This work contributes to a deeper understanding of how Islamic inheritance law aligns with and supports SDG objectives.
