<blockquote> <p><strong>Contemporary Maqasid Projects: An Evaluation and Rectification</strong></p> </blockquote> <p>The maqasid studies have known a substantial accumulation of knowledge demonstrated by one of the most descriptive and statistical works carried out by the late Dr. Muhammad Kamal Al-Din Imam entitled “<em>Al-Dalil al-Irshadi Ila Maqasid al-Shari`ah</em> (Guidelines for the Objectives of Islamic Law). Institutionally, there had also been several research centres dedicated to “maqasid” within the Muslim and Western worlds, providing significant qualitative and quantitative works on the epistemological and methodological maqasidi thought. <br />Accordingly, the Fifth Issue of the Journal of Contemporary Maqasid Studies focuses on understanding the maqasid-based knowledge produced by these research centres and institutions and their impact on the maqasid research in order to evaluate and rectify it for the development of the maqasid methodology within the following compasses:</p> <ul> <li>The “maqasid project” at the Centre for Maqasid al-Shari`ah Studies </li> <li>The “maqasid project” at the Maqasid Institute</li> <li>The “maqasid project” at the Maqasid Centre for Studies and Research</li> <li>The “maqasid project” at the International Institute of Islamic Thought </li> <li>The “maqasid project” at the Journal of Al-Muslim Al-Mu'asir</li> <li>The “maqasid project” at the Centre for Civilizational Renewal, Legal &amp; Future Studies </li> <li>The “maqasid project” in Kamal Al-Din's “<em>Al-Dalil al-Irshadi Ila Maqasid al-Shari`ah</em>”</li> </ul>

<blockquote> <p><strong>Challenges in Contemporary Maqasid Methodology</strong></p> </blockquote> <p>The maqasidi thought has encountered a set of qualitative and quantitative challenges and problems, especially at the level of its methodology and epistemology that yielded an enormous impact on the rest of the Islamic disciplines. One of the prevalent problems related to the maqasid lies in the misappropriation and ambiguity of implementation due to researchers' intent of correlating the maqasid with reality in order to implement/activate, and intertwine it with new theories. <br />Hitherto, the endeavors of “rationalizing” Islam have led to the acceptance of several modern "concepts", "theories", and "values" as 'Islamic' under the banner of maqasid. This has indeed produced several scientific dilemmas manifested in various areas of human knowledge.<br />Therefore, the Fourth Issue of the Journal of Contemporary Maqasid Studies sheds light on some of the epistemological and methodological problems in the maqasid methodology to improve and develop it. Appropriately, researchers are cordially invited to reflect upon the following themes:</p> <ol> <li>The maqasid methodology in light of <em>taqlid</em> (imitation) and <em>tajdid</em> (renewal);</li> <li>The maqasid methodology between the legal discourse and reality;</li> <li>The maqasid methodology and the problem of sources;</li> <li>The maqasid methodology and western methodologies.</li> </ol> <p> </p>
