Abstract
Maqasid al-Shairah (objectives of Shairah), is a very important topic of
Islamic Jurisprudence. There is no doubt that the knowledge of Maqasid al-Shariah is
necessary for students of Islamic jurisprudence and Muftis who involve in fatwa
writing and derivation of Shariah rulings in order to consider them in the process of
Ijtihad and giving rulings. Otherwise, Fatwa or Shariah ruling cannot be balanced if
Maqasid al-Shariah are neglected at all. Therefore, if we look into classical literature
of Islamic jurisprudence and Usul-e-Fiqh, we see that our great jurists and scholars
had discussed Maqasid al-Shariah with details in their writings. But the problem with
that is they discussed the topic of Maqasid with different terminologies under
different topics. Therefore, the students of fiqh and researchers of Islamic law
sometimes fail or face difficulties to reach these important writings with regard to
Maqasid. The objective of this study is to explain the definitions of Maqasid and other
related terminologies. Further, this paper also sheds light on differences and
similarities of these related terms between them. It is believed that the paper will add
value in the existing literature of Maqasid and pave the way for thorough
understanding of classical literature.
