It performs a thematic analysis of 40 (articles, book chapters, manuscripts, etc.) published between the period 2003 to 2023 i.e.. It consolidates research methodologies, themes, and variables, which ultimately lead to a master conceptual framework of Islamic Spritual Tourism research based on Maqasid al-Shariah.
