Summary/Abstract: In the second half of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century, there was a strong revival of interest in studying the higher objectives of Sharia (maqasid al-Shariah), both in the Muslim world and in the West. Researchers in this field have identified two basic functions of dealing with maqasid, namely: understanding the Islamic legal heritage and formulating new legal solutions and theories. Some modern Muslim authors have pointed to the role that maqasid may play in restoring the methodology of Islamic law. This paper will offer a panoramic survey of contemporary literature in English language that addresses various aspects of the higher intents of Shariah.
