(4) Shatibi is responsible the turn from traditional text-based literalism to a focus on the meta-legal notion of Sharia aims - p.252
(5) Shafi'i fashioned legal tool of Masalih Mursalah with a consistent all embracing fundamental legal principle rejecting Ghazali anti-rational instinct subsumed under Qiyas - p.252
