Abstract
Far too often, the subtle yet pervasive effects of Islamophobia on Muslims remain largely overlooked within the realm of academic research. The objective of this systematic review is to bridge this significant gap by scrutinizing peer-reviewed studies published from 1990 to 2022. Through a thorough screening process, we assessed 2,402 titles, ultimately including thirty-seven articles in our comprehensive analysis. Guided by the 2020 PRISMA framework, our investigation delves into the multifaceted consequences of Islamophobia on various dimensions of well-being, encompassing mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression, as well as tangible and behavioral outcomes. Our analysis reveals that existing literature primarily focuses on the individual consequences of Islamophobia, including mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, and social and economic outcomes. Additionally, we identify significant communal impacts on Muslim communities as a whole, such as reduced social belonging and cohesion.
