The International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT) is a private non-profit, academic, and cultural organization
concerned with issues of Islamic thought. The Institute was founded in 1981 and is headquartered in Herndon,
Virginia, USA with branch offices in several major capitals throughout the world.
The Institute is dedicated to promoting research, producing publications and organizing conferences related to Islamic
thought and contemporary social sciences.
The IIIT seeks to integrate contemporary scientific methods and knowledge within an Islamic framework through
ijtihad in order to overcome the intellectual and cultural crisis in which the Muslim world is mired and thereby to
reform and revitalize Islamic thought. The Institute maintains that the tools, categories, concepts and modes of
analysis of secular thought has caused a discontinuity between the cultural and social reality of Muslims, and
inevitably, a total inability to acknowledge the overriding principles and virtues of Islam itself.
The Institute has become a forum through which Muslim scholars have rekindled an ongoing debate on Islamic
intellectualism and thought through research, publications, conferencing and networking. IIIT has published over 400
titles primarily in Arabic and English, as well as in major languages such as French, Turkish, Chinese, Urdu, Farsi,
Malay and others.
The Institute also publishes two quarterly refereed academic journals:
- American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences (AJISS) – English
- Islamiyyat al-Ma’rifah - Arabic

Ibn Ashur’s famous and pioneering study of
the Shari¢ah’s higher objectives and goals. To
restore the intimate contact between Muslims
and the Qur’an scholars developed the study of
the objectives of Islam. The Shari¢ah is marked
by a universal wisdom whereby every legal
ruling has a function which it performs, an aim
which it realises, an intention which it seeks to
fulfil and all of this in order to realise benefit to
human beings or to ward off harm or
corruption.

by Gamal Eldine Attia
This book takes an important step to realize
the higher intents of Islamic law (maq¥|id
al-shari¢ah) by attempting to integrate
contemporary values and worldviews into
maqasid terminology. It also tackles complex
theoretical questions on the role of maqasid
in ijtihad, juristic theorization (u|‰l), and the
Islamization of the human, social, and
physical sciences.

Theory of the Higher Objectives
and Intents of Islamic Law
This book represents a pioneering contribution presenting a comprehensive theory of
the objectives of Islamic Law in its various
aspects, as well as a painstaking study of
objectives-based thought as pioneered by the
father of objectives-based jurisprudence,
Imam Abu Ishaq al-Shatibi; in addition, the
author presents us with an important study of
al-Shatibi himself which offers a wealth of
new, beneficial information about the life,
thought and method of this venerable imam.

MAQASID AL-SHARIAH AS PHILOSOPHY OF
ISLAMIC LAW: A SYSTEMS APPROACH
by Jasser Auda
Islamic law is about achieving the juridical
purposes (maq¥|id al-shari¢ah) of justice,
mercy, wisdom, and common good.
However, many ‘Islamic rulings’ (fat¥w¥)
issued today effectively replace justice with
injustice, mercy with cruelty, wisdom with
nonsense, and common good with mischief.
This book argues that such rulings do not
belong to the Islamic law, even if they were
claimed to be so according to some interpretation. In this pathbreaking study, Jasser
Auda presents a systems approach to the
philosophy and juridical theory of Islamic
law based on its purposes (maq¥|id).

Maq¥|id al-shari¢ah, or the higher goals and
objectives of Islamic law, is an important and
yet somewhat neglected theme of the Shari¢ah.
Generally the Shari¢ah is predicated on the
benefits of the individual and that of the
community, and its laws are designed so as to
protect these benefits and facilitate improvement and perfection of the conditions of
human life on earth. This easy to read guide
gives a birds eye view of the subject,

Current applications (or rather, misapplications) of Islamic law are reductionist rather
than holistic, literal rather than moral, onedimensional rather than multidimensional,
binary rather than multi-valued, deconstructionist rather than reconstructionist, and causal
rather than teleological. There is lack of
consideration and functionality of the over-all
purposes and underlying principles of the
Islamic law as a whole. Further, exaggerated
claims of ‘rational certainty’ (or else, ‘irrationality’) and ‘consensus of the infallible’ (or else,
‘historicity of the scripts’) add to lack of
spirituality, intolerance, violent ideologies,
suppressed freedoms, and authoritarianism.

The maq¥|id al-shari¢ah have been either
directly stated in the Qur’an and the Sunnah
or inferred from these by a number of scholars. All of these address the raison d’etre of
the Shari¢ah which, as recognized by almost
all the jurists, is to serve the interests of all
human beings and to save them from harm.
In this paper Dr. Chapra explores the Islamic
vision of development in relation to the
maq¥|id al-shari¢ah arguing that Islam has
emphasized all the ingredients of human
well-being, including the human self, faith,
intellect, posterity as well as wealth, for
society to flourish.

U|‰l al-fiqh is a science which is deeply
embedded in the Islamic experience and one
which, thanks to its methods and concerns,
helped generate an empirical trend in
Muslim culture, in turn benefiting Western
thinking. Itself a creation of influences from
within and without, al-u|‰l, often called “the

revelation to work for the harmony and
well-being of human society.

Under the extraordinary pressures of the
economic and political challenges of the
modern world, it comes as no surprise that
many of our young Muslims have reacted by
treading the path of intolerance and rigid
inter-pretation. In this thoughtful and timely
book the author examines the worldwide
revival of interest in Islam and articulates the
wisdom of understanding both the letter and
the spirit of the Qur’an and the Sunnah.

RETHINKING MUSLIM WOMEN AND THE VEIL

RETHINKING
muslim women
and the
VEIL
Challenging Historical & Modern Stereotypes
A powerful critique of the popular western
notion that the veil is a symbol of Muslim
women’s oppression. Until now the bulk of
the literature about the veil has been written
by outsiders who do not themselves veil.
This literature often assumes a condescending tone about veiled women, assuming that
they are making uninformed choices about
veiling that makes them subservient to a
patriarchal culture and religion. Rethinking
Muslim Women and the Veil offers an alternative viewpoint, based on the thoughts and
experiences of Muslim women themselves.

TOWARDS A FIQH
FOR MINORITIES
Some Basic Reflections
taha jabir al-alwani
This paper is a timely and important subject
and a long awaited contribution to an area of
fiqh that has become essential for the well
being and development of Muslim communities living in the West. The author stresses that
the problems of Muslim minorities can only be
tackled with a fresh juristic vision based on the
principles, objectives and higher values of the
Qur’an in conjunction with the ultimate aims
and intents of the Shari¢ah.

MARITAL DISCORD
Recapturing Human Dignity Through the
Higher Objectives of Islamic Law
abdulhamid a. abusulayman
new revised edition
This paper examines the issue of marital
discord with a deep sensitivity to the
perspective of women. Criticising an approach
to the Qur’an that is misogynistic rather than
emancipatory the paper moves the debate
forward by introducing an alternative
inter-pretation of the Qur’anic text. The
explanation is fresh, firmly on the side of
women’s human rights and recaptures the full
Islamic spirit of human dignity.

abdulhamid a. abusulayman
by AbdulHamid A. AbuSulayman
This paper calls for reforming our approach to
education particularly through the Islamization of Knowledge so that both divine and
human sources are integrated into a powerful
whole with Revealed Knowledge providing a
comprehensive, spiritual and moral guidance

and scientific and technological knowledge as
tools for that action.
