With the end of the early Islamic period, Muslim scholars came to sense that a rift had begun to emerge between the teachings and principles of Islam and Muslims’ daily reality and practices. The most important means by which scholars sought to restore the intimate contact between Muslims and the Qur’an was to study the objectives of Islam, the causes behind Islamic legal rulings and the intentions and goals underlying the Shari'ah, or Islamic Law. They made it clear that every legal ruling in Islam has a function which it performs, an aim which it realizes, a cause, be it explicit or implicit, and an intention which it seeks to fulfill, and all of this in order to realize benefit to human beings or to ward off harm or corruption. They showed how these intentions, and higher objectives might at times be contained explicitly in the texts of the Qur’an and the Sunnah, while at other times, scholars might bring them to light by means of independent reasoning based on their understanding of the Qur’an and the Sunnah within a framework of time and space.
This book represents a pioneering contribution presenting a comprehensive theory of the objectives of Islamic law in its various aspects, as well as a painstaking study of objectives-based thought as pioneered by the father of objectives-based jurisprudence, Imam Abu Ishaq al-Shatibi; in addition, the author presents us with an important study of al-Shatibi himself which offers a wealth of new, beneficial information about the life, thought and method of this venerable man.
Imam AlShatibi Theory of the Higher Objectives and Intents of Islamic Law edition by Ahmad AlRaysuni Religion Spirituality eBooks
The book is not a translation of the original works of al-Shatibi, except for some excerpts from his literature. You have to keep in mind that it's not an Islamic book. It's a book full of philosophical ideas al-Shatibi had regarding Islam. And in no way were his ideas authorities about Islam as some of them were far-fetched.The idea of Higher Objectives was/is simply a theory and nothing solid. When a ruling is believed to be from God, then only God can actually tell us why he made that ruling as it was. No matter how logical of an explanation we conclude, we will never know.
So it's a nice book of theories and how scholars innovated new things to try to comprehend religion, as with all other religions.

Imam AlShatibi Theory of the Higher Objectives and Intents of Islamic Law edition by Ahmad AlRaysuni Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
I think the first thing to know about this book is it's a book translated from Arabic to English. Secondly, the book is NOT meant to be taken as an overview of Imam Shatibi's ideas for laymen but more of book for academia. A professor in university setting I'm sure could use this book as textbook for a school year on Imam Shatibi's ideas.
To understand Imam Shatibi's ideas as a non-academic I highly suggest you NOT purchase this book and purchase other books on subject. I haven't read other books on Shatibi's ideas but they can't be any worst then this book. The information is indeed solid but not easily digestible. Like the title to my review states...Verbiage.
Another thing to add about this book is it's just as much about the author Dr. Raysouni's ideas ABOUT Shatibi than the Imam's ideas. Until the last chapter does the author actually present the Imam's ideas in more easily read (and understandable) format. He mostly deals with concepts taken from the Imam based upon certain questions the Imam asked of other scholars of his time.
However, two facts that the author mentions that may not be in other works are
The five essentials (ad Daruriyyat al Khamsah) were first classified by Imam Juwayni and carried on by his student Imam Ghazzali before reaching Imam Shatibi's time
and The Maliki Madhhaab is actually more the school of Umar ibn Al Khattab than Imam Malik. As Imam Malik didn't invent or deviate from the establish practice of scholars of his time or those before him.
The author's explanation of these two facts alone make my purchase of book not a totally loss. Even though the book wasn't what I thought it turned out to be.
It covers excellent topics on sharia. It needs more research on it. It should be more structured and well published. I expect more scholar will come forward and contribute on this subjects.
