Abstract

This review explores the broad influence of Islamic religious practices and rituals on socio-economic and organizational dimensions through a cross-domain lens. It highlights their roles in fostering social cohesion, mental well-being, cultural identity, and influencing economic behaviors such as consumer attitudes and Islamic finance. The review discusses how Islamic ethics shape organizational culture, leadership, and innovation, emphasizing their contribution to organizational resilience and ethical governance. Challenges related to social conflicts, stereotypes, and technological integration are also addressed, underscoring the complexity of embedding Islamic practices in diverse contexts. Overall, the findings underscore the substantial impact of Islamic religiosity on societal structures, economic development, and organizational behavior, while identifying critical gaps for future research.
