Suicide is an under-researched public health problem in Islamic countries. We examined the trend of suicide research in Islamic countries to identify the potential gaps. We searched Scopus and analysed the articles published on suicide in Muslim-majority countries for the period 1995–2024. The bibiometric analysis revealed that the number of papers on suicide has increased yearly. Türkiye was the leading country, universities from Iran were the leading institutes (especially Tehran University of Medical Sciences), S.M.Y. Arafat was the leading author (n = 90) from Bangladesh, and the Asian Journal of Psychiatry was the leading journal. We found that suicide research has increased in the Muslim-majority countries in the last three decades, and suggestions are made for stimulating this trend
