Musfir bin Ali al-Qahtani
Understanding Maqasid al-Shari’ah calls for the development of a juridical sense that is finely tuned to the higher objectives and purposes of Islamic rulings, the aims of which are the formulation of a new methodology in understanding the revealed texts and the reform of Muslim thought and its application.
What makes this volume so valuable is that the author applies the higher objectives to different areas of jurisprudence, such as in deriving and issuing religious rulings, and to important social issues present in Muslim societies, such as the role of Muslim women in society, extremism, jihad, commanding right and forbidding wrong and countering religious excessiveness.

Bassam Saeh
This study illustrates why the Qur’an’s language is miraculous, unique, and evidence of its divine authority. It guides readers to appreciate the beauty of the Qur’an, to become more immersed in it, and have a clearer understanding of its structure and flow.
Devoting special attention to Surah al-Muddaththir (chapter 74) to underpin his analysis, Saeh thus brings the Revelation to life, to demonstrate that each surah has distinct features and characteristics that make it stand out uniquely within the design and sweep of the whole.
