Abstract

This study aims to highlight the emergence of the maqasid (objectives) in early times and trace its significant developments in the modern era. By focusing on the Abu Hamid al-Ghazali, Al-Tahir Ibn Ashur and Muhammad al-Ghazali understandings of Qur’anic purposes, it seeks to comparative study of the opinions of these scholars regarding the objectives of the Qur'an, given their crucial position in the Islamic intellectual framework. It is also addresses how these objectives deal with some of the challenges related to the Shariah discourse and its material and spiritual goals to comprehend contemporary life and its challenges.
