About This Book:

Karim Abu Zaid's book The Maqasidiq Tafsir Vol. 1, Pursuing the Higher Aim of the Quranic Scripture, offers a fresh perspective on how to comprehend the Quran. In the first part of this book, the author explain the idea of Jusdao; Malaika Abu Zaid analyzes the various ways that the Quran has been read throughout history in the first section of the book. He contends that traditional methods of Quranic interpretation have neglected the Quran's higher goals by putting too much emphasis on the text's literal meaning. Maqasid al-Quran is described by Abu Zaid as the "higher objectives" or "essential purposes" of the Quran. He contends that although the Quran implies these higher goals, it does not proclaim them directly. Abu Zaid offers a Maqasid-based exegesis of the first few chapters of the Quran in the second section of the book. He contends that these chapters make clear the primary goals of the Quran, including the upholding of justice, advancing human welfare, and promoting the worship of Allah. Abu Zaid contends that these loftier goals are still important for Muslims today and that they might benefit our understanding of the Quran and compliance with its precepts.
