A significant development in Islamic law between the 11th and 14th centuries CE was the approach to legal purpose known as the Maqasid theory. Imam Ghazzali (d. 1111) argued from a holistic reading of the Qur'an that the purpose of Sharia was to fundamentally preserve five matters: faith, life, wealth, intellect and family. This development occurred six centuries before John Locke's articulation of a similar approach to law in England. Over the next three centuries after Ghazzali, theologians such as Ibn Taymiyyah added a number of other fundamental purposes of law: preservation of reputations, neighbourhoods and communities; fulfilment of contracts; moral purity; trustworthiness; the love of God. Shatibi (of Jativa, Andalusia, d. 1388) explicitly synthesised traditionalist and rationalist approaches but Islamic legal theory and practice, once centuries ahead of other civilisations, fell into relative decline for the next half-millenium.
The last century of Islamic legal thinking carries more hope, however. Recent thinkers have suggested that the following are legal purposes that must be protected and promoted by Sharia: fundamental human rights and liberties; public welfare; education; scientific and medical research; the environment.
Dr. Auda maintains that, for Islamic rulings to fulfil their original purposes of justice, freedom, rights, common good and tolerance in today's context, the Maqasid theory must be presented as the heart, and the very philosophy, of Islamic law.
As Imam Izz al-Din b. Abdul-Salam of Egypt (d. 660/1262), "the Sultan of the Scholars," expressed it, "The greatest of all the objectives of the Qur'aan is to facilitate benefits and the means that secure them ... Every action that misses its purpose is void ... when you study how the purposes of the law bring good and prevent mischief, you realise that it is unlawful to overlook any common good or support any act of mischief in any situation, even if you have no specific evidence from the scripture, consensus, or analogy."
Or, as Imam Ibn al-Qayyim (d. 751/1351) (one of Ibn Taymiya’s students) of Syria put it, "The Islamic Law is all about wisdom and achieving peoples welfare in this life and the afterlife. It is all about justice, mercy, wisdom, and good. Thus, any ruling that replaces justice with injustice, mercy with its opposite, common good with mischief, or wisdom with nonsense, is a ruling that does not belong to the Islamic Law, even if it is claimed to be so according to some interpretation."

اس میں مقابلے میں غیر اسلامی حکومتوں میں سزایں وحشت انگیز اور ظالمانہ رہی ہیں
آج کے دور میں بلگرام ، قندھار ، ابو غریب اور گونتانامو میں کیا ہو رہا ہے وہ کسی کو نہیں معلوم
ان قیدخانوں کے متعلق جو کچھ بھی معلوم ہوا ہے اس سے نہ صرف انسان کے بلکہ جانوروں کے بھی رونگٹے کھڑے ہو جائیں
Our biggest probelm as Muslims is we try to justify our atrocities wrongly done in the name of Islam. Call spade a spade. We will bring what this country did to that and what someone else did to us etc. This is not what Islam is about ... copying other's bad deeds. Why dont we try to copy good deeds of West.... we will find plenty of good deeds there, for example honesty, discipline, respect, freedom, volunteerism, patience etc. to start with.
We do not know what is the actual behind that, it is just a video clip made by someone from his phone.
The reasons behind the punishment must be known before we pass our judgement or criticism on the event.
Our explanation on implementation of Islamic Sharia has nothing to do with this clip.
It is surprising for any Muslim to criticize the enforcement of Islamic law.
One is either a Muslim or Not-a-Muslim, cant be half half.
Allah subhan wa taala said to enter into the religion completely.
We can not take portion of it as we dont like the remaining.
Our religion is complete way of life, nothing left, then why should we copy or imitate the west.
If there are any good habits or system prevail in west it is either taken from Islam or it may be fake.
Education and knowledge of religion is must on every Muslim, we will be accountable for it on the day of judgement.
We cant be excused that we were busy doing our master degree or PhD and didnt get time to learn the religion.
May Allah guide all of us.
