  Sorry but could you give reference to one video since I’ve also watched Mizan lectures. I just need a clarification on this one ayah.

  Watch from 34:17 onward but it is advised that you listen to whole discussion:

  I agree kitaab means law or decree. But then why is the word shariah used in the ayah sent? I’m just curious as to why kitaab wasn’t used here

Because word Kitaab was used in the earlier verse i.e. 45:16 in the meaning of Book. Therefore, it would’ve been a literary incoherence to use the same word in a different meaning in the very next verse.

  But to say kitaab itself means shariah has to be substantiated

  Wherever it was used in meaning of Shariah, I think it’s well substantiated from the context and flow of Kalam. And if we take it in any other meaning other than Shariah, it always creates the inconsistencies which Muslims are facing even today because of those verses.
