Numerous studies have been conducted on this remarkable scholar and his outstanding works in Middle East and European countries, however, Indonesian studies have not been extensively highlighted. Thus, the present study aims to analyze studies conducted by Muslim Indonesian scholars on al-Razi�s works published in Indonesia between 2008 and 2016. The researcher employed Systematic Literature Review (SLR) as its main methodological tool with the adaptation of PRISMA technique. Findings revealed that Muslim Indonesian scholars mainly focused on three core subjects when they studied the works of al-Razi. The first was specific themes found in the Qur�an namely Oneness of Allah and His creation, the societal relationship in community, and Islamic philosophy on human creation. Second, comparative studies between al-Razi and other prominent Muslim scholars. Finally, the methodology used by al-Razi when interpreting the Qur�an. This study shows that Al-Razi�s works are so diverse and relevant that they are often referred to by present Indonesian Muslim scholars. Thus, it can be concluded that al-Razi�s works are very much pertinent and significant even in the modern world. � IAEME Publication.
