Pioneers of Theory of Maqasid Al Shariah

---

The theory of Maqasid al?Shariah, or the higher objectives of Islamic law, has been shaped by key scholars who defined its principles and methodology. Classical pioneers like Imam al?Ghazali introduced the concept of maslahah (public interest) and the preservation of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property, forming the foundation of maqasid studies. Imam al?Shatibi systematically articulated maqasid in al?Muwafaqat, providing a framework for legal reasoning. Modern scholars, including Muhammad Tahir ibn Ashur and Jasser Auda, further developed maqasid theory by contextualizing it for contemporary applications, emphasizing ethical and welfare considerations. Collectively, these scholars illustrate the evolution of maqasid from classical jurisprudence to a dynamic framework guiding the interpretation and implementation of Islamic law.
