Amongst two illustrious procedures of ijtihad; Ghair-mansos-minun-nuss (indirectly derived from Quran and Sunnah) includes Istihasan, Masalih Mursala, and Maqasid Shari’ah. From all these; Maqasid Shari'ah and the procedures of deriving masails (finding solutions to the newly arise problems) using it, are imperative and advantageous as well as deep-rooted to be precise, as the probability of committing a gaffe is significantly high. Hence, it is indispensable to acquire a comprehensive understanding of Maqasid Shari'ah and its evolution, and procedures for deducing Masails using it. Since its inception, Maqasid Shari'ah evolved to its current prominence through long, continuous and valued miscellany discourses. Time has come where all those diverse researched are to be made modest for vibrant understanding of it; bringing forward the valuable researches of scholars at different times and moreover error-free inference of its rules. This article broadly particularizes Maqasid Shariah, its significance, its evolution, and procedures for rules inference, using prominent wide-ranging illustrations.   Key words: Ghair-mansos-minun-nuss, Mujtahid, Masalih Mursala, Maqasid Shari’ah, Masails
