Over the past decade, Islamic advertising has gained academic attention, yet its theoretical and visual aspects remain underexplored. This study conducts a bibliometric synthesis of 90 peer-reviewed articles (2015–2025) retrieved from Dimensions.ai using a Boolean search combining “Islamic advertising OR “Halal advertising with symbolic and theoretical terms. Data were analyzed through VOSviewer 1.6.20 to map trends, collaboration, citation, and thematic clusters. The bibliometric approach was chosen for its capacity to identify conceptual and representational gaps beyond qualitative reviews. Findings show a dominance of behavioral and ethical models, while communication theory, visual semiotics, and audience reception remain marginal. Future studies are encouraged to integrate akhlaq and maslahah with communication and visual theory to enrich symbolic and audience-centered perspectives on Islamic advertising.

This study identified a growing body of research on Islamic advertising, yet highlighted a persistent reliance on behavioral and normative frameworks.The analysis revealed a regional concentration of scholarship in Southeast Asia and a lack of engagement with communication theory and visual semiotics.Addressing these gaps is crucial for developing a more comprehensive and theoretically grounded understanding of Islamic advertising as a communicative practice embedded in cultural and ethical contexts.

Future research should explore how narrative framing and visual semiotics shape the meaning of Islamic advertising messages for diverse audiences. Additionally, studies should investigate the role of digital influencers in constructing religious identity and promoting ethical consumption among Muslim youth, considering the interplay between religious values and commercial interests. Finally, comparative research across Muslim-majority and minority contexts is needed to understand how cultural nuances and diasporic experiences influence the reception and interpretation of Islamic advertising campaigns, potentially utilizing frameworks from Islamic epistemology such as akhlaq and maslahah to provide a more nuanced understanding of ethical considerations in advertising practices. These investigations should move beyond descriptive analyses to explore the underlying mechanisms of persuasion and meaning-making, contributing to a more robust and theoretically informed field of Islamic advertising studies.
