Summary/Abstract: All law systems – old and new, Divine and conventional – are in theory based on obtaining benefit and avoiding damage, with differences in determination of benefit and damage and in methods for avoiding damage and obtaining benefit. Divine systems determine these categories, and logics and reason confirm them, unlike conventional – man made systems, which leave it only to reason. A necessity emerges in modern times for research and application of objectives and intentions in Islamic law, so that religion could be transferred from theory into practice in all areas of human activity. Interest for objectives and intentions of Islamic law has appeared for two basic reasons: 1. Spreading of the Islamic world; 2. Unbreakable ties between the idea of objectives – intentions (in Islamic law) and contemporary reformist tendencies.
