dc.description.abstractIslamic law is a purpose-oriented divine law. All rules legislated by the Law-Giver are geared towards the realization of welfare or benefits (maslahah) of man, who is the subject of the law. The theory of maqasid al-Shari’ah has been dedicated to the study of the purpose of every given rule of the shari’ah. This paper seeks to explore the said theory with a view to exploring its multifarious aspects ranging from its definition to its types and significance. Attempt shall also be made at tracing the historical background of the theory in order to appreciate how it was developed from within the rubric of the science of usul al-fiqh by classical jurists, consolidated by medieval scholars, and promoted by contemporary scholars. As such, both historical and analytical methods shall be employed to achieve the set objectives. Among other things, it is concluded that understanding the purposes of Islamic law makes one appreciate its values and advantages to mankind, especially Muslims who subscribe to its tenets.en_US
