The opening
Maamar 1, Introduction
Wherein is treated of the number of laws in general. It is made clear that there are three, natural, conventional and divine. The differences between them are stated, and the principles of every one of them investigated, in order that the principles of divine law may be made clear. Then is explained the test by which the genuine divine law may be distinguished from the spurious which pretends to be divine. The question is discussed whether there can be more than one divine law at the same time.
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
