Summary/Abstract: In the second half of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-first century there has been a strong revival of interest to study the aims of Sharia law (mekasidu-š-Šeri'ah), in Muslim world as well as in the West. The researchers have recognized two basic functions of dealing with mekasidu-š-Šeri'ah, and they are: understanding of Islamic law heritage and formulation of new legal solutions and theories. Some modern Islamic authors have pointed out the role of mekasidu-š-Šeri'ah, which they can have in the revival of Islamic law methodology. This paper gives a panoramic survey of the contemporary law literature in Arabic language which treats various aspects of the Sharia law goals.
