The Islamic legal theory (ushûl al-fiqh) is one of the most important sciences in the development of Islamic thought used for legal deduction. As a legal theory, the scientific community (‘ulamâ’ al-ûshûl ) has developed a variety of approach to ushûl al-fiqh. The author argues that these two approaches are important means to comprehend how the Islamic jurisprudents deduce the law. Linguistic approach is required to understand the text of the revelation, whereas the maqâshid al-syarî‘ah is needed to consider the very objective of the law as well as to see the values of human interest for every obligation sent down by God. By undenying the importance of language approach, this article put forward the significance of the maqâshid al-syarî‘ah in order to catch God’s messages in the Qur’an.indWith permission of the license/copyright holderIslamic Lawmaqâshid al-syarî‘ahLinguistic approachReligious ethicsSpirituality and ethicsMethods of ethicsTheological ethicsPhilosophical ethicsJournal volume
