The Purposes of Sharia (Maqasid Al-Shariah) from Contemporary Scientific Research

Abstract

One of the aims of Sharia is scientific research and exploration. Scientific investigation and zeal for this noble goal have been highlighted by Islamic scholars because it serves the general purposes of Islamic law. The study of Islamic law's aims is considered current scientific research. It is regarded as one of the most important types of research in all branches of science. As it is valid for all times and places, the Sharia got to the end of the celestial rules. From this point of view, the significance of scientific study emerges, as does the declaration of its legitimate aims, which would benefit science and scholars. The aim of this study is to identify the fact of scientific research, to underline the relationship between scientific research and legitimate purposes, and eventually to clarify the Sharia regulations in the context of contemporary scientific research. This study utilized a qualitative approach, collecting data from secondary sources and analysing it using the content analysis method. According to the findings, specific guidelines must be followed to ensure that Sharia's goals are met in contemporary scientific research. This research is beneficial to Islamic researchers, particularly in terms of retaining the aims of Sharia in their contemporary scientific research.
