Q: Assalamu’alaikum Prof. Dr. Abdelaziz Berghout.
In today’s increasingly complex global context—marked by challenges such as climate change, identity conflicts, and social inequality—how do you see the role of Maqasid al-Shariah, particularly the dimensions of hifz al-‘aql (protection of intellect) and hifz al-bi’ah (protection of the environment), being strategically integrated into public policy and educational systems in Muslim-majority countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia?
