Islam comes to bring goodness to mankind. In practice Islamic law must deal with new issues that demand new legal solutions as well. It is often that a partial legal approach produces partial legal products by altering the welfare that is at the heart of Islamic Sharī’ah. The maqāṣid al-sharī’ah approach can be a way for the development of Islamic law which is oriented towards human welfare so that Islam as raḥmatan lil-‘ālamīn can really be realized. This article seeks to examine the development of the concept of maqāṣid al-sharī’ah by emphasizing the characteristic of the three main figures of different schools of thought: al-Ghazālī, al-Shaṭibī, al-Ṭūfī.
