Abstract

Shariah’s traditional objectives named: essentials (daruriyyah) needed, (hajiyyah) and complimentary (tahsinyyah), which are attributed to preserve the existence of nations; attainment of benefits and prevention from harms (munasibah/maslahah); adoption of the good things and avoidance from the bad manners. These interest-based objectives for mankind are basically derived from Quran and Sunnah___the revelation. Ergo, revelation is a fundamental source of knowledge prior to nature and history in Islamic epistemology. On the contrary, Western epistemology is based on rationalism, empiricism and criticism which later morphed into the reason-led Enlightenment that brought about the revolt against God as well as the onset of industrial capitalism which consequently and evidently caused the global climate change.
