The term non-conventional eco-politinomic is a combination of two terms, namely non-conventional ecology and non-conventional political economy. The need to examine the term non-conventional eco-politinomic was caused by the desire to further understand the term because the fields of Islamic ecology and Islamic political economy have been discussed, however, the integration of these two fields have not been discussed or explored. Moreover, there have been no discussions about this term from a systematic literature review study perspective. Hence, this study carried out a systematic literature review on the integration of Islamic ecology and Islamic political economy concepts to form the non-conventional eco-politinomic concept. It combined various study designs and study reviews based on a publication standard called ROSES (Reporting Standards for Systematic Evidence Syntheses). This study selected articles from two famous databases, namely Scopus and Dimension as well as a supplementary database, which was Google Scholar. Based on a thematic analysis, two main themes had emerged, namely Islamic ecology and Islamic political economy concepts. Both these themes then produced eight sub-themes. Findings provided several significant concepts based on the principles of Islamic ecology and Islamic political economy concepts as the main contribution of this study to the existing corpus of knowledge. This study found eight fields of knowledge in the formation of the non-conventional Eco-Politinomic concept, which are Islamic ecology, environment, environmental sustainability, economy, politics and Islamic political economy. Overall, the findings and discussions indicate that the fields of ecology-economy-politics are inseparable. In line with building this Islamic-based concept, it will help enhance the management of ecology-economy-politics more effectively, which eventually leads to the non-conventional eco-politinomic concept.
