Tarikh Islam

In the first part of this article, the idea of the history as being rule-governed was studied, and it was proved that the history, like all other actions and reactions in the universe, is subject to the "cause and effect" order, and the common identity of human beings as the principal building blocks of the society justifies the existence of common rules in history and history as being rule-governed is not inconsistent with human freedom, because in all voluntary and human-related phenomena and events, the very human free will is one of the adequate causes. Now in this part, the writer reviews some of the religious arguments for history as a rule-governed entity. In sum, the Quranic verses While asserting the existence of "Divine Practice" (Divine Sunnah) in history, and inviting human beings to get lessons from the past events or experiences and even ask them to travel to various parts of the world, or considering the histories of peoples in the past as a guide for human beings, clearly proves history to be a rule-governed entity.
