About this book

It is the first study which comprehensively, systematically and critically examines the role and usefulness of the concept of Maqasid al-Shari'a (higher Objectives of Islamic Law) in contemporary Muslim reformist thought in relation to number of specific issues pertaining to Islamic legal philosophy, law, ethics and the socio-political sphere.

Reviews

“The book covers well the contemporary reformist thought in the context of maqāṣid al-shari’ah in its various shades throughout the Muslim world. It is potent enough to serve as a handbook reference on maqásid reformist thought for the students of Islamic Studies and other Social Sciences in general and the scholars on maqāṣid al-shari’ah and other Muslim reformist thought in particular.” (Gowhar Quadir Wani, The Muslim World Book Review, Vol. 37 (3), 2017)
