This article discusses the concept of maqÄÂá¹£id al-sharÄ«Ê»ah (the goal of sharia) as a basis of the interpretation of the Qur'an. The points to be discussed are focused on two lines, namely the paradigm of tafsÄ«r al-maqÄÂá¹£idÄ« (the goal interpretation) and the configuration of the reason of tafsÄ«r al-maqÄÂá¹£idÄ«. The approach used is the hermeneutic approach within the framework of the structure of the interpretation system. It is by using the approach and the analysis, this article draws conclusions to the three lines of the understanding on the tafsÄ«r al-maqÄÂá¹£idÄ«: (1) The paradigm of tafsÄ«r al-maqÄÂá¹£idÄ« is the perspective toward the Qur'an and its interpretation along with the concept of maqÄÂá¹£id al-sharÄ«Ê»ah as the starting point, working with the emphasis on the harmonization between the text and the spirit of justice as has been conceptualized in the theory of maqÄÂá¹£id al-sharÄ«Ê»ah. Thus, tafsÄ«r al-maqÄÂá¹£idÄ« emphasizes logical reasoning for the public benefit to be more powerful than the text reasoning. (2) Hermeneutical reasoning of tafsÄ«r al-maqÄÂá¹£idÄ« is supported by three pillars of awareness: the historical, theoretical, and practical awareness. The three pillars are then actualized in the step of interpretation covering: contextualization, decontextualization, and ends with a re-contextualization. (3) As a system of interpretation, tafsÄ«r al-maqÄÂá¹£idÄ« passes the way of interpretation through the rules of linguistic, the analysis of hermeneutics and the analysis of public benefit (maá¹£laḥah). Keywords MaqÄÂá¹£id al-sharÄ«Ê»ah, hermeneutics, interpretation system, tafsÄ«r al-maqÄÂá¹£idÄ«.
