Systematic Literature Review of the Research Design Based on the Tafsir Tahliliy Method

There is an initiative to build a study design based on Islamic principles. However, there is yet to be a study that has systematically reviewed the literature pertaining to an Islamic study design based Tahliliy interpretation method (TIM). A systematic literature review (SLR) would provide a more specific picture of related publications. Hence, what elements of the Tahliliy interpretation method (TIM) can be applied in a study design? To answer this question, this study was guided by the PRISMA publication standards and used three databases, namely Google Scholar, Academia and ResearchGate, to search for articles published from 2011 to 2020. A total of 105 reference materials that used the keywords "research design" and "Tafsir Tahliliy" (TIM) were found, but only 10 were analysed after passing the screening process. The discussion was divided into three themes, namely Islamic-based research methods, study design and Tafsir Tahliliy (TIM). All three themes showed that is relevant for the TIM to be used as a study design in Islamic research; therefore, it is also this study's suggestion that the TIM should be adopted as a research design in Islamic-based research methods.
