Addressing this gap and drawing on the full-fledged genre of Maqid al-Shar?a, this study aims to develop a genre of Maqid al-?Aqda (higher objectives of Islamic theology) based on a scheme of core values (Truth, Justice, Beauty), instead of a scheme of .hudd (penalties). Arguing that the traditions current overemphasis on law (Justice) has relegated both theology (Truth) and Sufism (Beauty) to the periphery of the tradition, Abdelnour illustrates how this marginalisation of theology and Sufism leaves less room for an ethical Islam and instead prioritises legal and political Islam. In shifting the focus from law to theology, the book thereby grapples with such questions as: why did Islamic theology fail to develop a systemic genre of Maqid al-?Aqda? How do we chart out a map to guide the process of founding such an area? In what ways can the emerging Maqid al-?Aqda benefit from the well-established Maqid al-Shar?a? What are the ramif
