Al-Hakeem (The All-Wise) in the Quran

The word “Hakeem” (The All Wise) is mentioned thirty-three times in the Quran with different denotations. Some of them are: (And if all the he sea (were ink wherewith to write), with seven seas behind it to add to its (supply), yet Allah’s Words would not be exhausted. Verily, Allah All Mighty, All Wise) (Luqman 31; 27)

(Alif Lam Ra: A Book, the Verses thereof are perfected and then elaborated from the Him (Allah), Who is All Wise, Well-Acquainted (with all things)) (Hud 11; 1)

(And had it not been for the Grace of Allah and His Mercy on you, and (had it not been that) Allah is All-Pardoning, All-Wise) (An-Nur 24; 10)

(Falsehood cannot come to it (the Quran) from before it or behind it; (it is) sent down by the All Wise One, the One Worthy of all Praise (Allah)) (Fussilat 41; 42)

(And Allah is All-Knowing, All Wise) (Al-Mumtahanah 60; 10)

1-    Allah’s book the Quran is described as being “Hakeem” (i.e. a Book full of wisdom”. To this effect, Allah, the All Wise, says: (Alif Lam Ra’: Such are the Verses of the Book, “Al-Hakeem” (i.e. full of wisdom)) (Yunus 10; 1)

(Ya Seen. By the Quran, “Al-Hakeem” i.e. full of wisdom!) (Ya-Sin 36; 1)

(Our Lord! Send among them a Messenger from among them who shall recite unto them Your Verses and instruct them in the Book (the Quran) and wisdom (Prophetic Sunnah) and purify them. Verily, You are the All Mighty, the All Wise) (Al-Baqarah 2; 129)

2-    Scholars of Quranic interpretation hold that whenever the word “Hikmah” (i.e. wisdom) comes together with the Quran, it means prophetic Sunnah and tradition, because the Prophet’s Hadith and Tradition are the best interpreters of the Holy Quran: (Verily, Allah conferred a great Favor upon believers when He sent to them a Messenger from among themselves, reciting unto them His Verses (the Quran), purifying them, and instructing them (in) the Book (the Quran) and wisdom (Prophetic Sunnah), while before that they had been in manifest error) (Al Imran 3; 164)

3-    Also, “Al-Hikmah” (wisdom) should be used in the call for Allah and His religion. To this effect Allah says: (Invite to the Way of your Lord with wisdom and fair preaching and argue with them in a way that is better. Verily, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are rightly guided) (An-Nahl 16; 125)

In other words, if you lack wisdom, everything leads you to endless sorrows and losses on the day of resurrection. That is why Allah says: (He (Allah) grants wisdom to whomsoever He pleases; and he who is granted wisdom is indeed granted abundant good. But none remember except those possessed of understanding) (Al-Baqarah 2; 269)4-   

 “Al-Hikmah” (wisdom) can also be granted to people. If Allah gave you the best woman in the world, but did not give you wisdom, you would make the worst woman of her. If He gave you enormous wealth, but did not give you wisdom, you would soon waste it and make of it a source of sorrow and regret for you on the Day of Judgment. If He gave you good health, but did not give you wisdom, you would use your health in trivialities and foolish things. And if He gave you good children, but did not give you wisdom, your own children would be the cause of your entering hell-fire.
