The next divine name is Al Hakeem, which means the Wise. Allah, the Exalted, possesses infinite knowledge of all things and their real nature and acts according to His infinite wisdom in a perfect manner. The muslim who understands this divine name will never object to His choices and decrees knowing that there is wisdom behind each choice of Allah, the Exalted, which benefits His servants even if they are not obvious to them.
A muslim should act on this divine name by using their knowledge and blessings according to the commands of Allah, the Exalted, as this is the ultimate wisdom a person can possess.
The next divine name is Al Wadood, which means the Loving. This means Allah, the Exalted, loves the believers and in turn they love Him. Chapter 5 Al Ma’idah, verse 54:
“…Allah will bring forth [in place of them] a people He will love and who will love Him…”
Allah, the Exalted, is the One who also creates love for a person in the hearts of His creation. A Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 6705, advises that when Allah, the Exalted, loves someone He commands the Angel Jibreel, peace be upon him, to also love them. He in turn commands the Angels to also love them and this love is spread throughout the Heavens and the Earth.
When Allah, the Exalted, loves a servant He bestows on them further blessings so they remain steadfast in His obedience.
The muslim who understands this divine name will strive in order to receive this love by following in the footsteps of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, as all paths to the love of Allah, the Exalted, have been closed except his path. Chapter 3 Alee Imran, verse 31:
“Say, [O Muhammad], “If you should love Allah, then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins…”
A muslim should act on this divine name by loving and hating only for the sake of Allah, the Exalted. This in fact is a branch of perfecting one’s faith according to a Hadith found in Sunan Abu Dawud, number 4681. They will prove this love and dislike for the sake of Allah, the Exalted, by acting according to the teachings of Islam.
In addition, they will love for others what they desire for themself which is a sign of their true belief. This is confirmed in a Hadith found in Jami At Tirmidhi, number 2515. They will support this belief through actions by striving to benefit others according to their means such as emotional and financial support. This applies to all whether they are pious or not, muslim or not.
