The Centre for the Study of the Philosophy of Islamic Law (Maqasid Centre) is a project of the Al-Furqan Islamic Heritage Foundation. Its mission - as proposed by its founding symposium in London in March 2005 and approved by its Advisory Council at its first meeting in Cairo in December 2005 - is to revive the jurisprudence of Islam.

The Centre works to disseminate Maqasid thought through conferences, symposia, academic courses, and lectures, as well as by publishing books and other materials related to the objectives of Islamic law.
Over the past two decades, the Centre has held dozens of activities, and has published more than eighty titles on various topics.
