Abstract
Divine traditions are a set of rules that regulate a series of events in society and human history, and knowing them acquaints us with the causes of stability of events and their effects and consequences under continuous rulings. In the present article, the sociality of traditions has been examined from different aspects, including their subject, actors, goals, and consequences, which have a special form of occurrence and a single logic at every historical stage, and are expressed in different forms and specific characteristics in the Qur’an. The results of this research indicate that acquaintance with God's unbreakable traditions, which demonstrate His excellent design and power in creation, informs man about his fate and the similarity of his fate in history and society, so that by recognizing unexpected events and preparing for confrontation with them, man could set a detailed plan which is needed to face what threatens his happiness and perfection, and ultimately reach a solution to improve his current situation. This article has investigated the formulation of traditions and theoretical issues using the descriptive-analytical approach from the perspective of Qur’anic verses and evidence, and since it is a text-based research, it has tried, in terms of type, to use the rational and narrative approach, which is among the ijtihad methods
