Maqasid or maqāṣid al-sharīʿa is an Islamic legal doctrine. Together with another related classical doctrine,maṣlaḥa,it has come to play an increasingly prominent role in modern times. The notion of maqasid was first clearly articulated by al-Ghazali,who argued that maslaha was God's general purpose in revealing the divine law,and that its specific aim was preservation of five essentials of human well-being:religion,life,intellect,lineage,and property. Although most classical-era jurists recognized maslaha and maqasid as important legal principles,they held different views regarding the role they should play in Islamic law. Some jurists viewed them as auxiliary rationales constrained by scriptural sources and qiyas. Others regarded them as an independent source of law,whose general principles could override specific inferences based on the letter of scripture. While the latter view was held by a minority of classical jurists,in modern times it came to be championed in different forms by prominent scholars who sought to adapt Islamic law to changing social conditions by drawing on the intellectual heritage of traditional jurisprudence. These scholars expanded the inventory of maqasid to include such aims of sharia as reform and women's rights;justice and freedom;and human dignity and rights.
