Abstract

This study examines how the juridical-normative perspective and the concept of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah work together to understand the objectives of law in the contemporary era. While maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah emphasizes the protection of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property as the fundamental aims of Islamic law, the juridical-normative approach views law as a set of standards that must be followed to ensure certainty and order. The findings indicate that both approaches complement each other in achieving justice, benefit, and legal certainty. Modern dynamics—such as digitalization, blockchain technology, personal data protection, and legal institutional reform—require more contextual and adaptive interpretation. Integrating the values of maqāṣid into positive law is considered capable of enhancing the legal system’s responsiveness to social developments and societal demands. This study concludes that strengthening maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah within regulations and judicial practices is a strategic step toward building a legal system that is humanistic, transformative, and oriented toward public welfare.
