In fact, anyone who studies al-Shatibi will conclude that he wrote about nothing but maqaqshid al-shari'ah and their outcomes.
In all that al-Shatibi's writes, one finds that 'the objectives' are his companion, present in his words, exercising their sway over his views and rendering them more profound and discerning, while his views, in turn, render his theory clearer and more comprehensible. This being the case, 'The Book of Higher Objectives' is not sufficient in and of itself for a complete elucidation of the theory of objectives, its various dimensions, and its effects. Rather, it finds its way into the majority of al-Shatibi's writings. The International Institute of Islamic ThoughtĪl-Shatibi's theory of objectives is not found exclusively in the section of al-Muwafaqat devoted to this theme, namely, 'The Book of Higher Objectives' of which I have just presented a synopsis.
