This article examines the paradigm of maqāṣid syarī‘ah as the basis for Islamic legal reform in the thinking of Jasser Auda. The study focuses on the concept of maqāṣid, the systematic thinking, and the methodological reconstruction offered by Auda in responding to contemporary Islamic legal challenges. This research uses a qualitative method with a literature review approach, sourced from the works of Jasser Auda and relevant scientific literature, and analyzed through a descriptive-analytical approach. The results show that Auda places maqāṣid syarī‘ah not merely as a normative goal of law, but as a comprehensive philosophical and methodological paradigm. Maqāṣid is reconstructed from a normative protection orientation towards development, fulfillment of rights, and human welfare. Through a systemic approach, Auda formulates Islamic legal reform that emphasizes epistemological reconstruction, integration of universal values, social impact orientation, and continuous evaluation of ijtihad. This paradigm affirms the relevance of maqāṣid syarī‘ah in responding to the complexities of modern law without losing the normative legitimacy of sharia.
