The paper deals with the analysis of historical facts within initial development of Islamic cultural-civilizational circle, which evidently indicates the existence of two possible theoretical approaches in observing cognitive productive-reflective representation of elements of visual art/practice of homini islamici. It refers to the dogmatic-classical approach versus a practice established centuries ago and fulfilled in the form of order, where the substance of emergence of a creative action is elaborated by means of the cognitive modality of the qadar/ṣināʿat discourse, together with the activating figurality based on the idea of a closed concept of collaborative-cognitive practice.

This paper presents an overview of an ancient theory of Sharʻīa law, which originated during the 14th century, and was founded by the Hanbali jurist Najm al-Dīn al-Ṭūfī. The theory of “benefit in the interest of the person” (utilitarian theory in the Sharʻīa law) is by all accounts a unique theory in its time, not only among Muslims but in jurisprudence in general. In a very concise and argumentative way, the author presented his assumption that the main theme of Sharʻīa law is the protection of benefits in the interest of persons and that this is the main goal.
