The Just Judge

الْحَكَمُ

Al-Ḥakam — The Judge

أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَحْكَمِ الْحَاكِمِينَ

Is not Allah the most conclusive of all judges

Surah At-Tīn (95:8)

Niat

Today, I will withhold judgement on one person or situation — and leave it to Al-Ḥakam.

Renungan

Al-Ḥakam is The Judge. Not the judge who is guessing, or the judge who can be swayed, or the judge who is missing half the evidence. The Judge who knows every detail, every intention, every context. When human judgement fails you — and it will — there is a court that never gets it wrong.

Tentang ayat ini

Another rhetorical question that is also a declaration. When the world feels unjust, this verse is the ground beneath your feet.

Doa

Seeking refuge from committing injustice, not only from suffering it. The believer fears being unjust as much as being wronged.

Hadis

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Beware of injustice, for injustice will be darkness on the Day of Resurrection.”

— Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2578
