“ And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.

He gives wisdom (AL-HIKMAH) to whom He wills, and

whoever has been given wisdom has certainly been given

much good. And none will remember except those of

understanding (ULUL-AL-BAA-B).”

As in the famous Hadith of Jibra’il a.s. from which our basic beginners

(FARDHU ‘AIN ) course curriculum was based on, I would like to propose

for this module on “TAFAQQUH” this time to deeply reflect upon each

of the key aspects (terms) our Prophet Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصملسو هيلع هللا ىلص used in this

(chosen) Hadith and then elucidate their significance and wisdom

beautifully regarding Islamic teachings as a total way of life (AD-DEEN).

I believe in the consistency of our Prophet’s advice, which seminally

contain gems which are in fact beautifully elaborated upon in the rest of

the other teachings of Islam. This brings up the wisdom (AL-HIKMAH).

“… and teaching them the Book and Wisdom”-(Q: 62:2)


"I have been sent with JAWAMI’ AL-KALEEM (i.e., the shortest expression

carrying the widest meanings), and I was made victorious with awe (fear

cast into the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of

the treasures of the earth were brought to me and were put in my hand."

(Hadith reported by Bukhary)


JAWAMI'-AL-KALEEM means

(“comprehensive speech”) that Allah SWT has granted the

Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص ability to speak in the shortest expression

carrying the widest meanings; expressions in one or two

statements or thereabouts the numerous matters that used to

be written in the books revealed before him.

This epitomizes the Wisdom (AL-HIKMAH) granted to our

Prophet Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصملسو هيلع هللا ىلص .In this module we shall try to reflect upon the significance as in

just one Hadith – the Prophet Muhammad’s ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصملسو هيلع هللا ىلص advice to a

Sahaabiy Abu Dzar al-Ghifari r.a., which we hope Allah SWT

will grant us profound understanding of the DEEN – insha-

By analogy, ‘ship’ and the ‘sea’ invoke in our mind :1)a journey - which our life itself, in reality, is all about.

2)the raging sea and the depth of the ocean represent the extreme

danger which our life journey must traverse. Yet, we need the sea and its

many bounties in our journey upon it.

3)The parable of the traveller (refer to my slides), is most apt and we

should re-visit, reflect, share and insha-Allah, never forget.PREVIOUS LESSONS All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail ( 2017 ))

whoever disobey me is one who refuses (to enter it).”
