The Supreme Judge • The One Whose Judgment is Final, Perfect, and Absolutely Just
✨ ROOT MEANING
Arabic root: ح – ك – م (ḥāʼ • kāf • mīm)
| Word | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Ḥukm (حكم) | Judgment, decree, verdict, legal ruling |
| Ḥākim (حاكم) | Judge, ruler |
| Al-Ḥakam (الحكم) | The One who judges with absolute justice, never errs, never forgets, and whose verdict no one can overturn or appeal |
Al-Ḥakam is not influenced by bribes, emotions, status, or lies.
He is the eternal Judge — over hearts, actions, and intentions — and His court is never closed.
📖 QUR’ANIC FOUNDATION
While the Name Al-Ḥakam is not mentioned in noun form in the Qur’an, it is affirmed by classical Sunni consensus and clearly referenced in Allah’s speech and the Prophet’s ﷺ supplications.
📌 Surah Al-Anʿām 6:57
“The judgment is only for Allah. He relates the truth, and He is the best of judges.”
📚 Tafsir (Ibn Kathir, Al-Baghawi, Al-Qurtubi)**
- This verse affirms Allah as the only One with the right to judge absolutely
- His judgment:
- Is based on truth, not assumption
- Surpasses all human courts and verdicts
- Includes not just external justice, but internal realities of the soul
You can lie to people — but no one lies to Al-Ḥakam.
🪞 Tafhīm (Relatable Understanding)
- You feel misjudged or falsely accused.
Al-Ḥakam says: “Come to Me — I know. I will judge you with truth.”
📜 HADITH REFERENCE
📌 Sunan Abi Dawud 4955
Narrated by ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib (may Allah be pleased with him):
The Prophet ﷺ said in a duʿā:
“O Allah, You are the Judge (Al-Ḥakam), and there is no judgment except Yours.”
📚 Tafsir (Ibn Rajab, Ibn al-Qayyim)**
- The Prophet ﷺ recognized Al-Ḥakam in:
- All trials and outcomes
- Every qadar, every delay, every decree
- Not just in courts, but in life’s unfolding events
Calling on Al-Ḥakam is to say:
“Even if the world judges me, I care most about what You decide.”
🪞 Tafhīm (Relatable Understanding)
- You ask: “Why me?” or “Is this fair?”
Al-Ḥakam says: “This is My verdict — and it contains wisdom, even if hidden from you now.”
🌍 EVIDENCE IN TODAY’S WORLD
1. You Were Treated Unfairly — But Stayed Patient
- False blame. Unjust consequences. Silent suffering.
Al-Ḥakam was watching — and His court will correct what the world broke.
2. You Saw a Liar Win — Temporarily
- In business, family, or public life — injustice prevailed.
That’s not the final verdict. Al-Ḥakam will reopen the case — with full evidence.
3. You Got More Than You Deserved — And Felt Humbled
- You failed. Yet Allah gave you ease.
That was Al-Ḥakam showing mercy before judgment — a reminder to return before reckoning.
4. You Did the Right Thing — But No One Applauded
- You chose truth. You lost people. But your heart stayed clean.
Al-Ḥakam will publicly honor the silently sincere, even if the world never noticed.
❤️ EMOTIONAL ANCHORING
Al-Ḥakam is the One who says:
“My judgment is not rushed. My verdict is not biased. And My justice will come — exactly when it’s most needed.”
He:
- Judges by truth
- Never makes mistakes
- Balances justice with mercy
- Settles all disputes, in this world and the next
You don’t need to fight to be seen.
Al-Ḥakam has already written your defense — and He never misjudges you.
🤲 PERSONALIZED DU‘A
(Inspired by Qur’an 6:57 and Hadith Abi Dawud 4955)
Not from the Prophet’s exact words — but drawn from authentic meanings
Yā Ḥakam,
Judge me by Your mercy, not my deeds.
Rule in my favor when the world sees only my faults.
Show me wisdom in what You’ve decreed — and let me surrender to Your justice with peace.
Let Your judgment protect me now, and save me on the Day no soul can defend itself.
