In fulfilling the maqâshid al Syari‟ah, maninadvertently fulfills not only his social and ethical needsbut also his commercial needs as well. There lies thewisdom of Muslims having to “fulfill all obligations” as indoing so mankind is fulfilling one another‟s needs andobligations, hence a win-win for all. The current practiceof Islamic banks needs to incorporate maqâshid al-Syari‟ahinto their management strategy to ensure its sustainabilityto serve mankind in the future, in confirmation to therequirement of Syari‟ah.
