احکام شرعیہ کا مقاصدی مطالعہ اور اس سے متعلق عصری رجحان و مباحث

Abstract

Islam, as a religion, resonates with the inherent nature of humanity, ensuring that its commands do not impose harm upon the intellect or the body. It's imperative to recognize that Allah has provided guidance through revelation, prioritizing it over individual intellect in formulating life's code of conduct. However, this doesn't negate the role of intellect; rather, the Quran consistently encourages reflection and contemplation. This fosters an understanding of the wisdom behind Allah's commands, enabling individuals to act with comprehension. Each command in Islam carries inherent wisdom, comprehensible at times and veiled at others. Scholars of Islamic jurisprudence extensively explore these principles, offering both broad insights and detailed analyses. Within the context of this discourse, there's a focus on linguistic and terminological comprehension of Sharia's objectives, encompassing its various types, significance, and influence. Pioneers of Sharia's terminology, its origin, and contemporary trends are also examined. Additionally, attention is drawn to recent developments surrounding Sharia's objectives, particularly within the Indian context. Furthermore, notable literature in the field of Sharia's objectives is referenced, enriching the understanding of this science. Through this comprehensive approach, a nuanced exploration of Sharia's objectives is facilitated, contributing to a deeper comprehension of Islamic principles and their relevance in contemporary society.
