Lectures By Dr Shomali

In this session, the concept of Sunnah in the sense of the universal or general laws or patterns that God observes in running the world in both His creation and legislation has been explained. There are 16 cases in 11 verses in which sunnah or its plural: sunan is used. One case refers to the manners of previous generations of believers and that is the verse al-Nisaa:4. All other cases relate to divine universal laws whether they are added to the subject or the object of these laws. Verses Aali 'Imran:137; al-Anfaal:38, al-Kahf:55 and al-Fatir:42&43 have been discussed.
