Allah
is al Hakim, meaning the all wise. And
what is wisdom? Wisdom is knowing how to
apply knowledge to get to a desired outcome.
As the saying goes, knowledge is knowing that
tomato is a fruit and wisdom is not
putting it in a fruit salad. Right? Knowing
where it should go to get a desired
outcome. And Allah
pairs Al Aziz and Al Hakim in the
Quran in over 40 places,
showing you, 1, Allah
is perfect in his power. And number 2,
Allah
is perfect in his wisdom even as we're
experiencing things
that are overpowering us. Because if we had
our choice,
nobody we loved would ever die. If we
had our choice, no one we loved would
ever get sick. If we had our choice,
we would never experience any harm. Allah al
Aziz overpowers us but we are given consolation
also knowing that Allah is what? That Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala is Al Hakim, the All
Wise. And eventually,
we might have had the gift of experiencing
this ourselves and looking back up our lives
and saying, You know what? I didn't want
this when it happened, but I'm so glad
it did.
