Maqashid Shariah in the perspective of Nuruddin Al-Khadimiy

Abstract

Swhich not only focuses on the five main objectives (al-daruriyyat al-khams), but also encompasses the broader social, political, and Islamic civilization dimensions. This study aims to explore Al-Khadimiy's views on the essence, scope, and relevance of Maqashid Syariah in the context of contemporary Islam. Using a qualitative approach and content analysis of Al-Khadimiy's writings, it was found that he emphasized the importance of actualizing Maqashid Syariah in state affairs, community empowerment, and the development of a just Islamic civilization. The results of this study indicate that Al-Khadimiy's ideas can serve as a normative and strategic foundation for formulating contextual Sharia policies oriented toward the public interest (maslahah 'ammah). This study also emphasizes the need for integration between classical maqashid and a multidisciplinary approach in responding to contemporary challenges.
