<![CDATA[This article examines the application of the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah approach to understanding religious texts and its implications for developing fiqh al-‘umrān al-ḥaḍarī (the jurisprudence of civilizational development) as an orientation for contemporary Islamic civilization. Departing from an awareness of the complexity of modern social problems, such as environmental crises, technological disruption, economic inequality, and the governance of public space, the article positions maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah not merely as a methodological tool of uṣūl al-fiqh, but as an epistemological paradigm that shapes al-wa‘y al-maqāṣidī (awareness of the objectives of the Sharī‘ah) in reading texts and reality in an integrative manner. Through a conceptual analysis of the relationship between text and context, the article demonstrates that the objectives of the Sharī‘ah hold a hierarchically higher position than literal meaning when a conflict arises between the application of a text and actual public interest (maṣlaḥah). The integration of maqāṣid and ‘umrān enables Islamic law to function contextually, progressively, and with a long-term orientation in building modern civilization, without losing its normative grounding in the revealed text.]]>
