description <p>This paper proposes that the traditional principle of <em>maqa</em><em></em><em>s</em><em></em><em>id al-Shari</em><em></em><em>‘ah, </em>or the higher intentions and object­tives of Islamic law, can go beyond the realm of theoretical Islamic jurisprudence and is made manifest in practical politics. I argue that the most robust example of this phenomenon occurs in Indonesia. I therefore examine whether or not the concept of Indonesia’s ‘secular’ and natio­nalistic doctrine of Pancasila, the Five Principles, can be construed as a contemporary application of<em> maqa</em><em></em><em>s</em><em></em><em>id al-Shari</em><em></em><em>‘ah. </em>This study strives to link the classical jurispru­dential tool of <em>maqa</em><em></em><em>s</em><em></em><em>id al-Shari</em><em></em><em>‘ah</em>, as discussed by al-Ghazālī (d. 1111), al-Shātibī (d. 1388) and more recently by Muham­mad al-Tahir Ibn ‘Āshūr (d. 1973), with the contemporary model of Pancasila.</p>
