Valuing divine guidance in human affairs.
About us
The Maqasid Institute is a global think tank that is working to effect a paradigm shift in the understanding and practice of Islam via Maqasid al-Shariah or the higher objectives of Islam as based on divine revelation, the Quran, and the Sunnah to help guard the sanctity of all life forms, promote peace and security, and substantiate the value of divine guidance in human affairs. MI is nonprofit, nonpartisan, nonsectarian and committed to the advancement of faith, life, knowledge, prosperity and the welfare of future generations. Our Vision MI’s vision is to see a renewed maqasid paradigm guide humanity’s search for truth, wisdom and dignity. To this end, we are committed to undertake basic and applied research in maqasid al-shariah to advance various fields of human endeavour. The profoundly transformational nature of maqasid supports the search for purpose and guidance in the revealed word of the Quran, the wisdom of Prophetic traditions and the rich intellectual heritage of Islamic scholarship. Organizational Structure MI’s structure consists of a Board of Trustees, an Executive Team, Regional Executives and Directors, Representatives who act as contact persons and conduct limited services, as well as an Academic Council and Fellows. Although not strictly an element of its internal structure, MI is also dependent on a number of key partnerships with leading academic institutions, non-profit organizations and the private sector.

- "إن الاشتغال على التفسير المقاصدي منهجًا وموضوعًا ومشروعًا يعد من الأولويات التي يدعو إليها واقع الدراسات القرآنية، خاصة وأن كثيرًا من الدراسات غدت إلى تعطيل الأحكام المستفادة من القرآن وتمييعها باسم المقاصد، وعليه ، فقد غدا التفسير المقاصدي الذي يضع جملة من الضوابط الحاكمة على كل مقاربة تفسيرية أو تأويلية تتخذ المقاصد شعارًا لها منقدَا من الضلال؛ إذ به ترشد تلك المقاربات وينقد ما كان منها متعسفًا يُحمل الآيات القرآنية ما لاتحتمل، أو منافيًا للغرض الكلي للقرآن أو الجزئي للآية المفسرة" من مقال التفسير المقاصدي للقرآن الكريم بين التفعيل والتعطيل لفريد شكري مجلة الدراسات المقاصدية المعاصرة Vol. 2, No. 1, 2023, p.35-60https://lnkd.in/grHv4tUA
