Maqasid (Arabic: Ù
Ùاصدâ, lit. goals, purposes) or maqÄá¹£id al-sharÄ«Ê¿a (goals or objectives of sharia) is an Islamic legal doctrine. Together with another related classical doctrine, maá¹£laḥa (welfare or public interest), it has come to play an increasingly prominent role in modern times.[1][2][3] The notion of maqasid was first clearly articulated by al-Ghazali (d. 1111), who argued that maslaha was God's general purpose in revealing the divine law, and that its specific aim was preservation of five essentials of human well-being: religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property.[4] Although most classical-era jurists recognized maslaha and maqasid as important legal principles, they held different views regarding the role they should play in Islamic law.[3] Some jurists viewed them as auxiliary rationales constrained by scriptural sources (Quran and hadith) and qiyas (analogical reasoning).[1][5] Others regarded them as an independent source of law, whose general principles could override specific inferences based on the letter of scripture.[1][6] While the latter view was held by a minority of classical jurists, in modern times it came to be championed in different forms by prominent scholars who sought to adapt Islamic law to changing social conditions by drawing on the intellectual heritage of traditional jurisprudence.[1][7][2] These scholars expanded the inventory of maqasid to include such aims of sharia as reform and women's rights (Rashid Rida); justice and freedom (Mohammed al-Ghazali); and human dignity and rights (Yusuf al-Qaradawi).[1]
History[edit]
Jurist Imam Abu Ishaq al-Shatibi (d.1388) also wrote on Maqasid Al-Sharia in his work Al-Muwafaqaat fi Usool al-Sharia. He defined maqasid al-shariah as 'the attainment of good, welfare, advantage, benefits and warding off evil, injury, loss of the creatures'.[8] According to al-Shatibi, the legal ends of Islamic law 'are the benefits intended by the law. Thus, one who keeps legal form while squandering its substance does not follow the law.'[9]
However, it was not until modern times that Islamic scholars have shown a renewed interest in the maqasid. This scholarship began with the work of the Tunisian scholar Muhammad Al-Tahir Ibn Ashur (d. 1973 CE). Since the turn of the century, a number of Islamic scholars including Mohammad Hashim Kamali, Professor Imran Ahsan Khan Nyazee, Ahmad Raysuni, Halim Rane, Jasser Auda, and Tariq Ramadan have all advocated the maqasid approach and contributed to its development.
Sheikh Muhammad Abu Zahra believed that Shariah was a 'mercy to humanity' with three major goals: 'nurturing the righteous individual', 'establishing justice', and 'realization of benefits'.[10][11]
In politics[edit]
On 10 July 2014, Malaysian prime ministerNajib Razak gave a speech calling for an end to conflict between Shia and Sunni. He stated that Malaysia can be an 'example for other Muslim nations on what it means to be a progressive and developed nation based on the five objectives of Shariah - to uphold the faith, life, intellect, progeny and property.' 'Our government's policies have always been based on these five principles of maqasid shariah... let us be an example of a Muslim country that is developed and progressive based on maqasid shariah'.[12]
In Islamic finance[edit]
Islamic scholars working in Islamic finance have attempted to elaborate on the objective of wealth (mal) or financial transaction. A contemporary scholar (Laidin) postulates five objectives:

Other articles where Classical Arabic language is discussed: Arabic language: Literary Arabic, usually called Classical Arabic, is essentially the form of the language found in the Qur示è©n, with some modifications necessary for its use in modern times; it is uniform throughout the Arab world. Colloquial Arabic includes numerous spoken dialects, some of which are mutually unintelligible.

Since the Qur'an is written in the classical Fusha then in order to be able to read it and understand you need to learn how to do this. How does the process of this learning look like in Arabic countries?
Are there special classes in every school? Are kids tested on it? I'm curious how the teaching of understanding classical Fusha look like. Are kids willing to learn this stuff I mean in general. I know that every Muslim knows some important parts of the Quran but my question is if they can read the whole book with understanding (having attended school, of course). A) Children learn colloquial Arabic at home.
They learn fusha (modern standard/classical) at school. Quran was not exactly written in the classical Fusha, It was in Quraish Dialect (An Arabian Dialect that was spoken by Prophet Muhammad). Classical (Post-Islam) Arabic was Standardized based on the Quraish Dialect (and it developed to the Modern Standard Arabic which is still not very different than Quranic Arabic).é¥å©¯nowing MSA would still make it easy to Read Quran, however the meanings of some words will require a dictionary, Some words are not used anymore in Arabic and Some words have different meaning than the modern meaning. Not to mention Learning the Quran you have to learn the backstory behind each Surah (Chapter) because there is a historical context behind some parts of Quran. Thus, learning the Quran is not exactly as learning Arabic, you will need another book (Tafseer) or Interpretation books to guide you through. These books would be helpful as long you know MSA.In Schools, They have Arabic Classes.

They are like any language class you will learn Grammar, Read Texts, etc. They don't teach about Quran, Perhaps they will use a Quranic text as an example for Grammar. And then there are separate Islamics class for various religious topics including Quran. Sadly many Muslims miss out on the Classical Arabic of the Quran. There are tremendous amounts of gems lost in translation and not grasped with todayé¥æª modern formal Arabic.There is an incredible institute called Bayyinah Institute that revolutionized the method of teaching this kind of Arabic that was once only accessible to kids in an Islamic school program or adults who attended a madrasah or dhar uloom (words for school but with a Islamic studies connotation).But now this said I statute has made it possible for the enormous masses of Muslims worldwide to learn the ancient Classical Arabic in order to understand the Quran with no barrier. I recommend a look at the program. I would probably start by learning fusha Arabic first.
Reading more basic and straightforward educational texts, then work your way up to simple poetry, then more complex and traditional poetry. You'll be able to read the Quran just with fusha, but as you progress you'll get a deeper understanding of it. It's not that hard to understand at the end, it isn't supposed to be, many traditional poems fan be more difficult. Okay think of if this way, what would you say if I asked you how to understand Shakespeare and I don't understand English? You'd say first like formal English (not just slang), then work your way up tge literature, and with experience and hard work you'll improve.
Honestly I know it's hard work, but it's also fun and rewarding to explore a language, and there is much beautiful texts including the Holy Quran that you'll enjoy a lot. Final point: I saw some people here talk about getting an imam or religious scholar to teach u, while that could be good if u have the right person, keep in mind that tge Quran is up for interpretation and that people can be onesided in explaining it depending in their own beliefs, knowing the language helps you draw your own conclusions, or having someone who's willing to be unbias and share various points of view. Anyways, sorry for writing a lot, good luck buddy!. It's just one of the foundational texts of the modern language and culture. Nothing to see here, right? No use whatsoever to the linguist, the scholar, or the interested, right?

/s.When the Zionists (I say that because at the time there was a massive divide between Zionists and other Jews) started resurrecting Hebrew, where do you think they went for their source? The Chumash, even though many of them were wholly secular and indeed socialist Jews. Say what you will about antiquarian religious texts, but they absolutely have their uses to the modern linguist.I also don't think OP is trying to learn Arabic via the Qur'an but rather learn Fus7a so that he/she can read the Qur'an.
