ABSTRACT
This research integrates the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of quality education, climate action, and sustainable development by emphasising the role of a strong theological foundation in promoting quality education. Using a combination of bibliometric and content analysis, the study offers a comprehensive assessment of this field's evolution, highlighting major themes, key publications, and emerging trends over the past four decades (1983–2024). A total of 185 articles from the Scopus database were analysed, resulting in the development of bibliometric networks that map the core literature on this topic. The findings reveal those Islamic teachings—centred on stewardship, interconnectedness, and moderation—have significant potential to support global sustainability efforts, especially in Muslim-majority countries. The study underscores the need to integrate religious, ethical, and scientific perspectives to address environmental challenges effectively. It advocates for embedding Islamic principles into sustainable development strategies to promote inclusive and environmentally conscious climate action. Despite limitations, such as reliance on the Scopus database and theme clustering based on bibliographic data, this study lays the groundwork for future research exploring the intersection of ethics, education, and sustainability, contributing to global resilience and equitable progress.
