| Summary: | This study seeks to employ the knowledge of principles of Islamic jurisprudence and, the objectives of Islamic law in order to benefit from juristic legacy for revitalising the outcome-based approach to Fiqh to revitalize the Ummah. Accordingly, the problem statement of the study is attempting to search for the role of the Muslim nation that is absent from the contemporary civilised scene and answering some questions, such as: where is our nation in the modern ranking civilisation? Why is it turned late? Is there anything in our heritage that prevents us from looking ahead the future and anticipating what is coming? In conducting this study, the researcher employed deductive, analytical, and inductive methods. While the deductive method is used to study the Islamic texts delineating the consideration of the outcome, the analytical method is used to analyse those texts to extract rules that suit incidents from them. According to the study’s findings, firstly, Islam prepares the human for foreseeing and anticipating the future and frees him from the obstacles of superstition, pessimism, and astrology. So, the human being should not give up and succumb. Rather, he shall face and strive with truth and for the truth. Second, the fundamentals of anticipation have to do with being aware of Islamic laws pertaining to an honest tomorrow. Third, the glorious Qur’ān consider al-sunan alkawniyah’ (universal ways of life) and those related to society as hints of the future and means of understanding it. The study concluded that the Holy Qur’ān also addresses time in all of its facets, including the past, present, and future (ma’ālāt), in order to help Muslims be conscious of their movements, homes, activities and outcomes. Therefore, the study has contributed to the field of research by clarifying the interest of scholars in the jurisprudence of ma'alat (forecasting), its fundamental rules, and its applications in various fields of Islamic jurisprudence. The study suggests that contemporary scholars should always consider ma'alat (forecasting) when issuing fatwas related to contemporary issues. |
