Allah

00:00:01 --> 00:00:03

is al Hakim, meaning the all wise. And

00:00:03 --> 00:00:05

what is wisdom? Wisdom is knowing how to

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07

apply knowledge to get to a desired outcome.

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

As the saying goes, knowledge is knowing that

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

tomato is a fruit and wisdom is not

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13

putting it in a fruit salad. Right? Knowing

00:00:13 --> 00:00:16

where it should go to get a desired

00:00:16 --> 00:00:17

outcome. And Allah

00:00:18 --> 00:00:20

pairs Al Aziz and Al Hakim in the

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

Quran in over 40 places,

00:00:23 --> 00:00:24

showing you, 1, Allah

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

is perfect in his power. And number 2,

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

Allah

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

is perfect in his wisdom even as we're

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

experiencing things

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

that are overpowering us. Because if we had

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

our choice,

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

nobody we loved would ever die. If we

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

had our choice, no one we loved would

00:00:39 --> 00:00:40

ever get sick. If we had our choice,

00:00:40 --> 00:00:43

we would never experience any harm. Allah al

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46

Aziz overpowers us but we are given consolation

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48

also knowing that Allah is what? That Allah

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

subhanahu wa ta'ala is Al Hakim, the All

00:00:50 --> 00:00:51

Wise. And eventually,

00:00:52 --> 00:00:53

we might have had the gift of experiencing

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

this ourselves and looking back up our lives

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

and saying, You know what? I didn't want

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59

this when it happened, but I'm so glad

00:00:59 --> 00:00:59

it did.

"I really think this is one of the greatest causes one could support"
