Along with Islamic finance and jurisprudence for Muslim minorities,
Maqaṣid al-Shariʻah (the higher objectives of Islamic Law)
completes the trinity of cutting-edge traditional Islamic research.
Its importance emanates from its philosophical vision, which allows
for the practice of divine text and prophetic teachings in a manner

and that most books on the subject are written for specialists, the
International Institute of Islamic Thought published three introductory
guides to provide simple and accessible material for the general reader. The Recognizing that this vibrant topic is complex, intellectually challenging,
