This is a very exciting book containing the contributions of some of the leading scholars including Ash-Shafi'i, Ibn at-Taymiyyah and Ibn al-Qayyim. “Studies on the Objectives of the Shariah” shed light on the importance of the Islamic law as understood by the best generation, utilizing a non-philosophical systematic approach because philosophy is harmful to the purity of the original beautiful religion of Islam. Imaam ash-Shafi’ii (d. 204H) said, “Whoever showed boldness in approaching theological rhetoric will never prosper.” Ahmad ibn Hanbal (d. 241H) said, “The person of theological rhetoric will never prosper. And never do you see anyone looking into theological rhetoric except that in his heart is a desire for creating mischief.” The Islamic laws are designed so as to protect human interests and facilitate improvements and perfection of the conditions of human life on earth. The maqasid al-shariah (Objectives of the Islamic Law) preserve the perfection of Islam.
