Abstract Jasser Auda's thoughts began with his criticism of Ushul Fiqh. This research answers first, Ushul al-Fiqh tends to be textual and ignores the purpose of the text; second, classification of several ulus al-Fiqh theories which lead to binary and dichotomous logic; third, the analysis of al-Fiqh's proposal is reductionist and atomistic. Apart from that, Jasser Auda also criticized the classic Maqasid which was too focused on individual benefit so that it was unable to answer current global problems. Therefore, Jasser Auda expands the scope and dimensions of classical maqasid theory to answer the challenges of modern times. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. This research produces Jasser Auda's theory, namely the system as an approach in Islamic law, and develops a collection of categories using six system characteristics, namely cognitive nature, connectedness, wholeness, openness, multidimensionality, and meaningfulness. This research also reveals the figure of a Contemporary Maqasyid Sharia Thinker where he did not eliminate the Classical Maqasyid Sharia, he only developed it to suit the needs of today's society. This research is considered important in current developments with increasing legal needs. Jasser Audha with his Maqasyid Syariah concept is able to connect these six with the current legal needs of the Islamic ummah. So Jasser Audha's thoughts are very relevant as a legal basis for Maqasyid Sharia today so that the Muslim ummah is not too fanatical about one opinion and is more open.
