In Islam, a Divine text is never void of any insight or intent of some kind. Maqasid Shariah is the aggregator of all the insights and intents of the Divine Texts. In the end, maqasid Shariah has the ability to create policies and best practices to ensure a good and purposeful life, which could be far-reaching in the whole dimension of life; personal and communal. Shariah was never faceless and voiceless.

In the past, the discourse and appreciation of Maqasid Shariah did not mean anything for men on the street. Issues such as the environment, social justice, governance, humanity values, life dignity and corruption, fiduciary duty, integrity, sustainability, food security, and clean water are the new manifestations of maqasid Shariah, i.e by blending the old device of maqasid Shariah with the new hard data of life. This has been made clear, visible, and tangible (as well as easy) via big data analytics and artificial intelligence (A.I.).

The time has come to make Shariah digitalized and data-driven. This may become Shariah's last bastion to restore its prominence and credentials, amidst secularism prevailing almost everything in life.
