The purpose of this study is to reveal the general view of akhī community and futuwwah studies using the bibliometric analysis method. Many studies on akhī community and futuwwah have been published in the literature. These studies focused on the concepts of akhī community and futuwwah in social, economic, and religious settings. A comprehensive bibliometric mapping analysis study of akhī community and futuwwah studies has not been found. This study is thought to be distinct from other studies in the literature in this regard. Furthermore, because of the bibliometric analysis, it can be stated that this research will be useful to researchers working on akhī community and futuwwah. The study was designed with the quantitative research method. Searches on Web of Science were conducted in accordance with the study's purpose, and 22 studies were identified. The data in the study were analysed based on the authors' collaboration, the use of common key concepts, and the common citation analysis. Based on the findings of the network of author collaboration, two different conclusions were reached: the subject is out of date, and a sufficient network of relations could not be established in the literature. The most recent research key concepts date from 2010. Based on the findings of the common citation network, it was determined that the cited authors were all directly involved in the fields of akhī community and futuwwah. Because the purpose of this study was to determine the international visibility of the akhī community and futuwwah studies, it was limited to the Web of Science database. Ulakbim Tr Dizin or Dergipark searches can be used to determine its visibility at the national level. The situation of the concepts akhī community and futuwwah at the national level can be revealed based on the data obtained. However, in this study, these concepts are discussed independently of any subject. Bibliometric analysis can also be used to uncover the connections between these concepts and more specific fields.
