The growing number of published articles indexed in a database such as Scopus suggests the increasing number of high-quality research and current interests that are relevant to a particular discourse. However, bibliometric studies identified that the pattern of journal articles published on Islamic estate planning in relation to Malaysian Muslim market in the Scopus database are still limited and given less attention. Therefore, this study seeks to identify the pattern of the published articles that have been indexed by Scopus specifically on Islamic estate planning instruments such as waqf, takaful, Islamic inheritance (farāid), gifts, trust, and will. This article is based on bibliometric analysis and focuses on all Islamic estate planning instruments in Islam. The data obtained from the Scopus database are then analysed thematically using ATLAS.ti 8 and VOSviewer software. The bibliometric analysis found 397 publications from Malaysia, which encompass articles, proceedings, book chapters, and book series. Nonetheless, there are only 324 relevant articles that had been analysed to establish the theme of the study. Meanwhile, the waqf instrument has become the most popular topic debated among researchers from Malaysia. All the articles are obtained from the Scopus database only by using keywords related to the instruments of Islamic estate planning. This study only focuses on Malaysian affiliates for 7 years, from 2015 to 2021. Therefore, more studies need to be done with any other indexing and high-quality research databases such as Web of Science (WoS) and related Islamic estate planning and marketing articles to achieve a better and more comprehensive analysis of research publications. In conclusion, this study provides a better information thematically through the frequency of publication by instruments, frequency of publication year, number of authors, language, publication format, list of journals, affiliation, and types of collaboration. This guideline is useful for researchers carrying out research on Islamic estate planning in the realm of Islamic marketing indexed in Scopus. In fact, the important result of this study will provide insightful bibliometric analysis and assist in identifying current interest in Islamic estate planning instruments with special reference to the Malaysian Muslim consumers' context.
