Hikmah

Hikmah

Hikmah is an Arabic word meaning wisdom. Hikmah is important to Islamic philosophy.

In Islam, Allah is viewed as All-Wise (Qur'an 45:37) and messengers are given scripture and wisdom (Qur'an 2:129). Muslims believe that those who reject Islam are rejecting wisdom. "The parable of those who reject Faith is as if one were to shout Like a goat-herd, to things that listen to nothing but calls and cries: Deaf, dumb, and blind, they are void of wisdom." (Qur'an 2:171).

Mulla Sadra defines it as

Coming to know the essence of beings as they really are' or as 'a man's becoming an intellectual world corresponding to the objective world. [ [http://www.muslimphilosophy.com/ip/rep/H027.htm Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy - Biography of Mulla Sadra] by John Cooper]
