Treatment using name Al-Hakam

Meaning

Al-Hakam means the Judge, the Arbiter: the One whose judgement is final and perfectly just, and which no one can overturn.

Understanding the Name

Allah judges between His servants in this world through His law and His decree, and in the Hereafter He will judge every dispute with complete fairness. The Prophet ﷺ asked in the Qur’an: “Shall I seek a judge other than Allah, when it is He who has sent down to you the Book explained in detail?” (Al-An‘am 6:114).

Accepting Allah as the Judge means accepting His commands willingly, even when they go against our desires, and trusting that His decision is always best.

Effects and reflections

The effect of this beautiful Name on a servant of Allah should be that he accepts Allah as the only supreme Judge and lives according to Iman-e-Mujmal (the summary declaration of faith).

One who has true knowledge realises that it calls him to good deeds. Those who are involved in sins in fact damage both sides of their life, the practical and the spiritual. Before deciding on any matter, one should consider carefully whether it is desirable or undesirable, because good deeds lead to salvation.
