Maq??id al-Shar??ah (Objectives of Islamic law) is a trending subject in Islamic law and its applications. It can easily be said that no other legal device has received as much attention nor generated as much excitement inside and outside the Muslim world. In its simplest, Maq??id is supposed to offer a way to derive and apply Islamic law in the contemporary world using an ancient methodology without being constrained by historical practice. Here comes this rich volume as essential contributions of collective chapters that engage in the debate and provide direction for the future. As it appears from the subtitle, the book comes into two parts, “the promises and challenges,” which offer an exciting dialogue between proponents and opponents of Maq?sid.
