Abstract: In this lecture series, we will explore what the Qur’an means by the term ḥikmah. We will closely examine the verses and passages of the Qur’an in which the term ḥikmah appears, following a roughly chronological order.
As part of our discussion, we will also investigate the engagement—or intertextuality—between these Qur’anic passages and the Biblical wisdom literature. The latter places strong emphasis on acquiring wisdom not only through revealed scripture, but also through contemplation of the natural world and personal life experience.
We believe that understanding this intertextual relationship between the Qur’an and earlier wisdom traditions—especially those found in the Bible—can shed light on the Qur’an’s invocation of ḥikmah, allowing us to better appreciate its depth and nuance.

'Wild West' The SC urges the public to refer to the SC’s I nvestor Alert List before investing. The list contains details of unauthorised websites, investment products, companies and individuals. Members of the public who suspect that they have been approached by unauthorised firms or individuals offering schemes that promise unrealistic returns NEWS "And that set off kind of a battle royale for control of the platform that Durov eventually lost," said Nathalie Maréchal of the Washington advocacy group Ranking Digital Rights. What distinguishes the app from competitors is its use of what's known as channels: Public or private feeds of photos and videos that can be set up by one person or an organization. The channels have become popular with on-the-ground journalists, aid workers and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who broadcasts on a Telegram channel. The channels can be followed by an unlimited number of people. Unlike Facebook, Twitter and other popular social networks, there is no advertising on Telegram and the flow of information is not driven by an algorithm.
