Abstract

This study investigates the impact of teaching Maqasid al-Shariah on the development of critical thinking skills among undergraduate students in the Departments of Law and Islamic Studies at the University of Benghazi. A sample of 100 students, comprising 72 females and 28 males from the third to the eighth semester, participated in the study through a structured questionnaire. The instrument measured four dimensions: knowledge and understanding of Maqasid, application in learning contexts, critical thinking skills, and perceived challenges and opportunities. Descriptive and inferential analyses revealed that while students demonstrated a strong conceptual knowledge of Maqasid, their ability to apply these principles in academic and reallife situations was moderate. The findings also indicated that Maqasid supports the development of critical thinking, though pedagogical limitations, such as reliance on memorization, obstruct its full potential. Students overwhelmingly highlighted the need for more practical training and innovative teaching strategies, but they also recognized Maqasid as a promising bridge between Islamic tradition and contemporary intellectual challenges. The study concludes that integrating Maqasid al-Shariah into pedagogy through active learning approaches can enhance both academic performance and critical reasoning skills. Recommendations are offered for curriculum reform, faculty development, and the adoption of student-centered teaching methods.
