Al-Hakam (الْحَكَم)
The Ultimate Judge
Linguistic Origins & Arabic Root
Root: ح - ك - م (H-K-M)
Etymology: Ultimate arbitration, executing absolute justice, wisdom.
Same root: the root ح - ك - م (H-K-M) also gives Al-Hakeem.
Spelling & Pronunciation
Written: الحكم — alif · lam · ha · kaf · mim.
The article: Arabic ha (ح) is a moon letter, so the lam of the definite article ال stays audible. The Name keeps its Al- form, unlike the fourteen sun letters, which absorb the lam.
Also written: Al Hakam — all romanisations of الحكم, which has no single official spelling in the Latin alphabet.
Mention in the Holy Quran
“Then is it other than Allah I should seek as judge?”
— Surah Al-An'am (6:114)
Spiritual Significance & Contemplation
Al-Hakam is the Supreme Arbiter whose decisions are untainted by bias or partiality. In His court, no innocent soul is wronged and every truth is vindicated.
