Abstract
| Everybody is required to make decisions on daily basis as individuals or as companies, as organizations and government agencies and authorities including policy designers, decision analysts and decision-makers. Decision analysis is a cornerstone in the life cycle of policy analysis, its execution and implementation, then evaluation and appraisal. 'Evaluation-Choice-Routines' are the core of the decision analysis process, around which the stages of the policy process orbits and continually engage these routines throughout the decision analysis process. Maqasid Al Shariah being a system has its own 'Evaluation Choice Routine' known as 'mawazeen' which is capable of weighing, balancing and evaluating, quantitatively and qualitatively due to its systemic nature and value-laden framework, not to mention its scalability and capacity to adapt to the various challenging contexts that are classified dissimilar or intangible or immeasurable or require evaluation without reductionism i.e. apple-to-apple comparison. This exploratory study examine and explore the means by which the maqasidi perspective could rationalize the existing approaches of decision analysis and make them more effective and efficient in solving the diversified range of problems that face policy-makers throughout the cycles of policy design and implementation through the use of mawazeen as an 'evaluation-choice-routine' for these existing approaches. This exploratory study may lead the way to advancement from 'I think, therefore I am' intothe next phase of evolution '1 decide, therefore I am'. |
