Investment Shaping the Future of Muslim Entrepreneurs; Bibliometric Analysis

The investment of Muslim entrepreneurs is a research topic that has attracted attention and interest among academics and economists, a research theme that is progressive, dynamic and has recently received a lot of attention, ranging from the election of Muslim entrepreneurs and leaders in New York to the inauguration of Mayor Mahmood Mamdani. This study aims to provide a bibliometric overview of Muslim entrepreneurs' investments. Through a bibliometric approach, an examination of 742 Scopus indexed articles published between 2001–2026. Three analyses were conducted to explore the most significant publications through citation analysis, map knowledge structure through co-citation analysis, and predict future trends through co-word analysis. The findings showed four clusters in the co-citation analysis and five clusters in the co-word analysis. Theoretical and practical implications are presented that religious, social, and cultural capital is an investment in human resources for Muslim entrepreneurs, as the foundation of business ethics, and performance, which serves as a basic element for Muslim entrepreneurs globally.
