Abstract

This article aims to demonstrate how the Maqasid Methodology re-envisions and re-structures an Islamic approach to higher education. This restructuring has direct implications on the research agendas, course curricula and mission of the higher education process. Achieving the purposes or maqasid of Islam via research and education, however, requires a contemporary re-classification of disciplines. Both Islamic and secular classifications, classical and contemporary, are not compatible with the needs of our times. After a general survey of classic and current classifications of disciplines, a new classification is proposed, from an Islamic point of view. The new classification and the associated research agendas briefly presented are basis for a new design for the higher education system based on the Islamic maqasid-based framework.
