چکیده:
Scientific systems are based on theories. Theories are significant scientific legacies and the result of human effort. Therefore, they require to be reviewed for further improvement. Concepts are among the most important elements of theories, as the explanation and formulation of a theory are based on some fundamental concepts. This study critically examines four conceptual elements: “Sunna-tu-Allah” (Allah’s Precedent), “Change,” “Religion,” and “Fitrah” (nature) in Martyr Sadr’s theory of historical traditions in the Qur’an, which are among the most important conceptual elements in his theory. The method of the paper is descriptive-analytical. The study is fundamental in terms of type and purpose. The data was collected and analyzed through document review. The Holy Qur’an and Martyr Sadr’s book “al-Madrasat al-Quraniyyah” were used as the research community, and other sources related to the research objectives were used as explanatory and supplementary sources. The results of this study indicate that Martyr Sadr’s conceptualization is not coherent and lacks a systematic framework, while the explanation of the concepts of “Sunnatullah” and “Change” requires refinement and completion. The explanation of the concept of “Religion,” despite its importance and breadth, does not possess appropriate formulation and organization. This fact has also caused problems for those compiling his works. Additionally, the theorist has not addressed others’ views on the concept of “Fitrah,” which is also endorsed by some narrations.
