    REKONSTRUKSI MAQA>SID AL-SYARI>>’AH JASSER AUDA Arina Haqan Institut Ilmu Keislaman Annuqayah (INSTIKA) Guluk-Guluk Sumenep [email protected] Abstrak Tulisan ini berusaha menjabarkan pemikiran Jasser Auda tentang Maqashid al-Syari’ah. Jasser Auda merupakan intelektual Islam modern yang mengkaji Maqashid al- Syari’ah dengan pendekatan sistem, yang berbeda dengan pandangan ulama klasik. Jasser Auda mengkaji maqa>s}id al- shari>’ah dengan perspektif baru. Dalam pandangannya, hifdzu al-nasl tidak lagi hanya sekadar menjaga keturunan, tapi dimaknai ulang dengan perlindungan terhadap keluarga dan institusi keluarga. Demikian pun hifdzu al-‘aql dimaknai ulang dengan melipat gandakan pola pikir dan research ilmiah; mengutamakan perjalanan untuk mencari ilmu pengetahuan, menekan pola pikir yang mendahulukan kriminalitas kerumunan gerombolan; menghindari upaya- upaya untuk meremhkan kerja otak. Hifdzu an-nafs dimaknai ulang dengan melindungi martabat kemanusiaan dan HAM. Hifdzu al-din dimaknai ulang dengan menjaga, melindungi dan menghormati kebebasan beragama dan berkepercayaan. Hifdzu al-mal dimaknai ulang dengan mengutamakan kepedulian sosial, pembangunan dan kesejahteraan sosial. Kata kunci: rekonstruksi, maqa>s}id al-shari>’ah, Jasser Auda, Pendahuluan Kompleksitas ranah historis manusia dengan berbagai wacana, model, dan aktivitas yang mengitarinya yang setiap hari berubah dan bahkan tampak pelik seakan tidak tertampung dalam nilai/norma hukum yang ada dalam nas (al-Qur’an dan Sunnah).

    Journal of Social Studies Education Research SosyalBilgilerEğitimiAraştırmalarıDergisi 2020:11 (2), 151-173 www.jsser.org Social Conflict in Indonesia: Safeguarding a Nation as a New Approach for Resolving National Disintegration Iffatin Nur1 & Susanto2 Abstract The phenomenon of disintegration in Indonesia has been occurring since the political reforms that started in 1998 through the advent of radicalism and terrorism, eroding the national sense of identity and unity. This paper explores the national safeguarding concepts by emphasizing two research questions: (1) How do the social conflicts in Indonesia rooted in the religious perceptions threat the safety national buildings?, and (2) How are insights of national safeguarding nation approach from Haramain al-Juwayni’s View of Maqāṣid Sharī‘ah offer the way to resolve the national disintegration? This study takes the form of library research employing the content analysis from which various texts on Islamic nation buildings were examined. As a qualitative approach, this study focused on the analysis of themes of the purstanding Islamic influencers on Usul Fiqih. Thematic analysis regarding misleading perceptions on Islamic rules on the nation buildings and approach to resolve nation disintegration were presented. Through this study, we discovered that Islam offers a concept for safeguarding the sovereignty and unity of a nation, one that has not yet been extensively explored by previous scholars, namely maqāṣid sharī‘ah in the form of ḥifẓ al-dawlah (safeguarding a nation). There will hopefully be other comprehensive studies in future to bring forth other leading concepts for preserving national unity and integrity. Keywords: ḥifẓ al-dawlah; maqāṣid sharī‘ah; national disintegration; radicalism; terrorism Introduction The post-reform era has been marked by the onset of the democratization process, and it has become a fertile ground for groups that advocate conflict to grow (Fealy & Hooker, 2006).

  • Maqâshid Al-Sharî'ah in the Study of Hadîth and Its Implication for The
    Proceedings of ADVED 2017- 3rd International Conference on Advances in Education and Social Sciences 9-11 October 2017- Istanbul, Turkey MAQÂSHID AL-SHARÎ’AH IN THE STUDY OF HADÎTH AND ITS IMPLICATION FOR THE RENEWAL OF ISLAMIC LAW (STUDY ON JASSER AUDA’S THOUGHT) Ahmad Syafi’i Sulaiman Jamrozi* *Mr., State Islamic University of Sunan Kalijaga, Indonesia, [email protected] Abstract Jasser Auda’s effort in researching, utilizing and developing re-assessment of Maqâshid looks different from the study of previous Maqâshid, because the starting point of his study initiated and triggered by the annual report of HDI of the Islamic world which is still relatively low. This Reality is what encourages Auda to undertake mappings, and critical studies of existing theory of Maqâshid through the mobilization and integration of the study using the scientific approach and social science as well as contemporary humanitarian issues related to human rights, gender, harmonious relations with non-Muslims, etc. The Writer through this limited research paper intends to explore further one side of Auda’s thought, mainly related to the concept of maqâshid in the study of hadîth. The central questions to be answered in this study are: 1) How is the conception of Auda’s thought of Maqâshid in an effort to contextualize narration of the Prophetic traditions as the primary source of Islamic law? 2) How is the methodological implication of the contextualization of Prophetic narrations based on Auda’s maqâshid in the contemporary of Islamic legal reform? By using descriptive-analytic and critical approach, this article is going to answer these questions.

  • Syarī'ah Approach in Islamic Economy: Insights From
    Available online at www.sserr.ro Social Sciences and Education Research Review (7) 2 206 - 224 (2020) ISSN 2393–1264 ISSN–L 2392–9863 THE RECONSTRUCTION OF MAQĀṢĪDAL- SYARĪ’AH APPROACH IN ISLAMIC ECONOMY: INSIGHTS FROM JASSER AUDA PERSPECTIVE Hendri Hermawan ADINUGRAHA1 FAKHRODIN2 MASHUDI3 1, 2State Islamic Institute of Pekalongan, Indonesia 3State Islamic University of Walisongo, Indonesia Abstract This literature review aims to provide insight into the reconstruction of Islamic law (fiqh) through the maqāṣīdal-syarī’ah approach in Jasser Auda’s perspective and how the contextualization is with the practice of Islamic economics in Indonesia. Maqāṣīd in Jasser Auda’s perspective has four meaninGs, namely wisdom behind a law, Good final Goal to be achieved by law, divine Goals and moral concepts that are the basis of law, and mashālih. The concept of modern Islamic law based on maqāṣīdal-syarī’ah is an offer of Jasser Auda’s thouGht to provide solutions in the balance and harmony of human life between the affairs of the hereafter and the world. Jasser Auda in his research tries to reconstruct the old maqāṣīd concept which is protection and preservation towards the maqāṣīd theory which refers to development and rights. Therefore, the concept of maqāṣīd offered by Jasser Auda places the values and principles of 206 humanity at the foremost.The implications of the application of maqāṣīd al-syarī’ah usinG the maṣlaḥah instrument in the context of the Islamic economy in Indonesia are used to fulfill the needs of sharia policies in the economic sector which do not only revolve around Islamic bankinG matters.

  • The Shifting Paradigm of the Classical Theory of Maqas> Id} Al-Shari’Ah> to the Modern Theory
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by IAIN Sunan Ampel Repository THE SHIFTING PARADIGM OF THE CLASSICAL THEORY OF MAQAS> ID} AL-SHARI’AH> TO THE MODERN THEORY Sanuri ABSTRACT This paper highlights the methodological critique of the contemporary Muslim scholars concerning with the development of epistemological paradigm of Islamic law, particularly the concept of classical maqa>s}id al- shari>’ah/mas}lah}ah (purposes or intents of Islamic law), which is regarded to be inadequate to cover the sophisticated issues. They view that the methodological establishment of Islamic law is frequently trapped within the textual, exclusive, and normative understanding for long period of the time. As a result, flexibility and elasticity of Islamic law are not able to engage in the dialogue to modern values, particularly related to issues of h}udu>d, human rights, public law, gender, and Muslim as a member of global citizenship. They argue that the understanding of the classical mas}lah}ah theory should be dialogued and related to social sciences, social changes, universal values and those of modernity. Therefore, this paper focuses on the concept of maqa>s}id al-shari>’ah within the perspective of the contemporary Muslim scholars namely Abdullah Saeed and Jasser Auda to view: (1) whether they tend to ground on the classical theory of maqa>s}id al-shari>’ah or they explore entirely their own original one; (2) the extent of urgency of maqa>s}id al-shari<’ah theory in legal reasoning process (ijtiha>d); and (3) the significant contribution of the contemporary Muslim scholars’ thoughts on the discourse of Islamic law.

The legal sanction on marriage registration violations was intended to create equity within households and fulfill every citizen’s constitutional rights. However, the law enforcement efforts encountered some problems, especially in three Southeast Asia countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei Darussalam. This article investigated the diversity of regulations on marriage registration violations in the countries and analyzed how Jasser Auda’s maqasid al-shariah perspective viewed the type of legal sanctions there. This study found that there were regulations on marriage registration violations in each country. However, while Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam imposed both financial penalty and imprisonment, Indonesia only charged fines for the culprits. In Jasser Auda’s perspective, the regulations in the countries, except Indonesia, were in line with maqasid al-shariah because firstly, they aimed at maintaining harmony in marriage and contained the aspect of serving the depth and breadth of public interest (maslahah) in terms of necessities (daruriyat). Secondly, the regulations had traversed basic conceptual approach and systems analysis.
