developing countries, including Muslim countries. However, research on
scientific developments regarding poverty in Muslim countries is still limited.

alleviation in Muslim countries using the Scopus database over a period of 32
years from 1991 with the keyword zakat poverty.
Method
A bibliometric approach was used to answer this goal by mapping research
publications with the help of R-Biblioshiny software.
Results

the most productive writer Saad Raj, who has a fairly extensive network of
author collaborations. Finally, the relationship between words divided into five
naming clusters is an important discussion in this research.

research on zakat and poverty alleviation in Muslim countries in the future.
