KNOWLEDGE

THE NAMES OF ALLAH, AL-HAKEEM, AL-HAAKIM are mentioned almost a hundred times in the Qur’an.

WHO IS AL-HAKEEM, AL-HAAKIM, AL-HAKEM?

These great names affirm perfect judgement and wisdom to Allah Who places everything in its right position.

  • Allah’s laws are comprised of goodness. His news fills the heart with knowledge and correct belief. All His commandments are beneficial and bring forth beautiful manners, noble qualities, righteous deeds, purified obedience and perfect guidance. All His prohibitions are in harmony with the correct mind and sound natural disposition. He does not prohibit anything except what is harmful for people in their minds, manners, chastity, bodies and wealth.
  • He executes what He wills; no one can repel His decision, and no one can push back His decrees. There is none who reviews the judgements of Allah and only the One Who has perfect seeing, hearing, knowledge and ability can judge perfectly.
  • As for wisdom in His commandments and rulings, He is the One Who legislated the laws. He sent down the Books and sent Messengers in order for His slaves to know and worship Him.
  • As for wisdom in creation, He created the creation in truth. He did not create them carelessly, nor did He bring them into existence in vain. On the contrary, He created them for the most complete and noble purpose.
  • Knowing Allah and worshipping Him Alone without any partners is the purpose of our creation and the greatest blessing of Allah upon His slaves. It is the sole means of attaining eternal happiness and everlasting success.

IN THE QUR’AN

مَّا يَفْتَحِ اللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ مِن رَّحْمَةٍ فَلَا مُمْسِكَ لَهَا ۖ وَمَا يُمْسِكْ فَلَا مُرْسِلَ لَهُ مِن بَعْدِهِ ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ

“Whatever of mercy, Allah may grant to mankind, none can withhold it; and whatever He may withhold, none can grant it thereafter. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.”

[Surah Fatir [35:2]]

 

أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَحْكَمِ الْحَاكِمِينَ

“Is not Allah the Best of judges?”

[Surah At-Teen [95:8]]
