| Man has been created “free” to take advantage of the blessing of “free will” to achieve "salvation" in crucial moments while being free from chains of superstitions and misunderstanding. The common divine traditions in history, which are also reflected in the verses of the Quran, are an effective tool for testing the servants of God and displaying their light or dark end. In this regard, following a lexicological analysis of the word “sunnah” in the holy Quran and surveying the views of the infallible leaders and the Sunni and Shiite scholars, the three prominent features “pervasiveness” and “divinity” of historical traditions and their connection with freedom and free will are introduced in this article, and finally traditions such as “the rule of the elite”, “the victory of the prophets and the believers” and “injustice, the demolisher of nations” are examined. The present research work concludes that taking cognizance of the common traditions in the history of the ancients acts like a lighted candle to show the way ahead and make man prosperous in the world and in the Hereafter. |
