Abstract

Qur’anic pedagogy prepares future teachers and students to face modern educational challenges. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis to examine research patterns, trends, sources, authors, institutions, and themes in this field. Data were collected from Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) and analyzed using ScientoPy and VOSviewer. Findings show significant growth in Al-Quran teaching and learning research from 1990 to 2025. “Cumhuriyet Ilahiyat Dergisi” and “Religions” were identified as the most prominent source titles, while frequently used author keywords included Religious Education, Islamic Education, and Quran. The most cited articles focused on Quran teaching, structured literature reviews, and cross-sectional analyses. Overall, This study highlights the need for the discipline to adapt to 21st-century issues, with sustainability and curriculum development emerging as potential areas for future research beneficial to academics, educators, and policymakers.
