He presents maqāṣid as crucial for the functioning and widening of the system of ratiocination (manẓūmat al-taʿlīl) and inference (istidlāl). In his theory of renewal, Bin Bayyah expands the role of maqāṣid in uṣūl al-fiqh beyond the system of ratiocination to all the chapters of uṣūl al-fiqh. In this context, he provides more than thirty ways in which maqāṣid are blended into the texture of Islamic legal theory and are necessary for its sound functioning.

However, Islamophobia is not restricted to the geography of the West, but rather constitutes a global phenom- enon. It affects Muslim societies just as much, due to various historical, eco- nomic, political, cultural and social reasons. Islamophobia in Muslim Majority Societies constitutes a first attempt to open a debate about the understudied phenomenon of Islamophobia in Muslim majority societies. An interdisciplinary study, it focuses on socio-political and historical aspects of Islamophobia in Muslim majority societies. This volume will appeal to students, scholars and general readers who are interested in Racism Studies, Islamophobia Studies, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, Islam and Politics.
